You might think President Trump&#8217;s hopeful message of wanting to re-open the economy by Easter would give comedians some good news to bring to their viewers. Not surprisingly, that’s not the case for late-night hosts.
While 3.3 million Americans filed for unemployment last week and most Americans face an uncertain future as SARS-CoV-2 sweeps across the nation, late-night TV hosts are bashing Trump for trying to re-open the economy and imploring him to keep it closed.
But the TV hosts are scolding the president from their multi-million dollar mansions, aware that their multi-million salaries are not in jeopardy and, with so many Americans isolated in their homes, their audiences could actually even grow.
Take Trevor Noah, host of &#8220;The Daily Show.&#8221;  He&#8217;ll still be getting his <a href="https://comparilist.com/trevor-noah-net-worth/">estimated</a> $8 million a year salary and keeping his $10 million <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trevor-noah-new-york-apartment-tour-photos-2017-3">penthouse apartment</a>, which occupies the 17th and 18th floor of a building in midtown Manhattan.
Noah has been posting videos, sticking with his &#8220;Daily Show&#8221; format, on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JINuIu0Th-Q&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=396">YouTube</a>. In one, he says: &#8220;The the story that&#8217;s got everyone talking is that while more and more countries around the world are shutting down to stop coronavirus from spreading, Donald Jamison Trump is preparing for a grand opening.&#8221;
Trump said Tuesday he would “love to have the country opened up” by Easter, which is April 12. “It’s such an important day for other reasons, but I will make it an important day for this: I would love to have the country opened up, and they are just raring to go, by Easter,” the president said in a Fox News virtual town hall from the White House Rose Garden. “We’re opening up this incredible country. Because we have to do that. I would love to have it open by Easter.”
&#8220;Yes,&#8221; Noah said, &#8220;President Trump said he wants to re-open on Easter. Which makes sense, I mean, Easter is all about resurrection, after all. Happy Easter, everyone — He is risen. &#8216;He&#8217; meaning coronavirus.&#8221;
Noah added: &#8220;You don&#8217;t have to be a genius to see why the president&#8217;s plan is alarming a lot of people right now.&#8221;
&#8220;Late Night&#8221; host Seth Meyers was even most distraught at the idea of Trump&#8217;s optimism that the economy could be re-opened by April 12, posting his own video on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku5C9vpaG4k">YouTube</a>.
Meyers, who&#8217;s still pulling in his <a href="https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/seth-meyers-net-worth.html/">estimated</a> $3 million annual salary, did the video from his $7.5 million <a href="https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/step-inside-seth-meyers-manhattan-duplex">Manhattan duplex</a> in Greenwich Village. Meyers played a clip in which Trump said:  &#8220;Ultimately the goal is to ease the guidelines and open things up to very large sections of our country as we near the end of our historic battle with the invisible enemy. There’s tremendous hope as we look forward and we begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel.&#8221;
Meyers responded, saying: &#8220;Light at the end of the tunnel? What are you talking about? Are you sure you’re not just staring at the sun again? &#8230; Trump cares more about the Dow than saving lives. It’s that simple.&#8221;
On Trump saying he hoped the U.S. could be open by Easter, Meyers said, &#8220;You just came up with yourself? Did you decide to cede the decision to&#8221; the Easter Bunny (as an image of the holiday bunny. Impersonating Trump, Meyers said: &#8220;He’s bringing the eggs whether we like it or not, I say be ready.&#8221;
Then as himself, he added: &#8220;Don’t just pull dates out of your a**. That’s unsanitary. &#8230; He randomly concocted a date against the advice of virtually all public health experts.&#8221;
Meyers&#8217; YouTube subscriber count, by the way, has doubled since the pandemic swept America.
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel also posted a video — from one of his <a href="https://www.dirt.com/entertainers/performers/jimmy-kimmel-house-hermosa-beach-11950/">three houses</a> in Hermosa Beach, California (he bought one for $2.1 million in 2004, another for $2.25 million in 2014 and a third for $8 million in 2017). His annual salary was <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/13/top-4-late-night-tv-hosts-make-millions-of-dollars-a-year.html">estimated</a> at $15 million back in 2017.
In response to Trump&#8217;s hope to re-open by Easter, Kimmel said in a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yS4MBk-y1E&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=181">video</a>:  &#8220;By Easter?! That&#8217;s in two and half weeks. Even Jesus is like, &#8216;Jesus! Calm down let’s think this through.&#8217;
&#8220;We’re all going to die so the president can eat Peeps,&#8221; Kimmel said.
Comedian Victor Dweck, who like Noah and Meyers lives in Manhattan, told The Daily Wire that he hopes the late-night hosts can channel their skills into bringing more of a hopeful message to America.
&#8220;Now, more than ever, we need laughs. We need funny people. The late-night hosts are very skilled, very gifted comics. I hope they can direct their talent and energy into bringing smiles to millions of people in this difficult time. With the huge reach that they have and the wind of success at their back, I think they are in a unique position to bring Americans together with a message of hope,&#8221; he said.
For content creators like Dweck, the pandemic has thrown them all a curveball. “We had just completed a pilot we shot for an original series and were literally a day from sending it out to studios in Hollywood, and then the pandemic took over America. Just about every industry has paused and entered a crisis management mode. For creators, it’s forced us to re-think how we can shoot and deliver new content right now.&#8221;
And now, that field is even more crowded, what with the late-night TV hosts posting their own content exclusively on the internet.
Dweck has his own take on virus, a YoutTube video titled “<a href="http://bit.ly/corona-dweck">Love in the Time of Corona,</a>” in which two people on a first date run into an issue because neither want to take off their protective masks.
&#8220;I&#8217;d like to bring as many laughs to as many people as possible. As a comedian, that means just focusing on delivering funny, not dread.&#8221;

Adam Schiff is the congressman of Hollywood, and in Hollywood, he can do no wrong as he wages war on President Donald Trump. For proof, look no further than the slobbery interview granted by ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel on Feb. 24. Several times, Kimmel made the point that Schiff is &#8220;our local congressman&#8221; and has an office &#8220;right down the block&#8221; on Hollywood Boulevard.
After some pleasantries about how Schiff gets stopped on the streets by (mostly) admiring citizens, the talk turned to President Trump. Kimmel ran a clip in which Trump insisted Schiff be investigated for having leaked details of a classified briefing on Russian interference in the 2020 election to the newspapers. Kimmel, who&#8217;s no lawyer, said nothing about it being illegal to share classified information, and he certainly didn&#8217;t ask Schiff to deny he had leaked classified information.
The newspapers disdained Trump&#8217;s allegation as being &#8220;without evidence,&#8221; which is very convenient when they keep their sources anonymous.
Kimmel acted amazed. &#8220;Who is &#8216;they&#8217; that he wants &#8230; to do an investigation of you? Would this be your fellow congressmen?&#8221; Schiff said: &#8220;No, it&#8217;s much more malicious than that. He wants the Justice Department — his hand-picked hack at the attorney general&#8217;s office, Bill Barr — to investigate his political enemies.&#8221; Kimmel replied &#8220;(S)houldn&#8217;t everyone, regardless of their party, be very troubled by this?&#8221; Schiff said, &#8220;Absolutely.&#8221;
When Sen. Martha McSally calls a CNN reporter a &#8220;hack,&#8221; the entire media elite is outraged, but when Schiff calls the attorney general a &#8220;hack,&#8221; everyone just nods and giggles. Kimmel, who defined the word &#8220;hack,&#8221; insisted that Schiff&#8217;s partisan behavior be defended &#8220;regardless of &#8230; party.&#8221;
Kimmel wanted the Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee to be outraged. They were — at the leaks from people still trying to claim that there is some grand Russian-collusion scheme. Schiff raised the name of ranking member Devin Nunes, and Kimmel pounced.
&#8220;Devin Nunes &#8230; for whatever reason, just kind of came out of nowhere, and really has devoted his life to protecting Donald Trump, for reasons that are unknown to me,&#8221; he said, as if Nunes hasn&#8217;t been in Congress since 2003 — in other words, as long as &#8220;Jimmy Kimmel Live!&#8221;
Kimmel added: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if he&#8217;s dumb, if he&#8217;s evil, if he&#8217;s some combination of the two. I&#8217;m pretty sure he&#8217;s dumb. I won&#8217;t speak to evil. But what&#8217;s going on there?&#8221;
This is the classic divide for liberals when it comes to conservatives: Conservatives are either dumb (liberal take on former Vice President Dan Quayle) or evil (liberal take on former House Speaker Newt Gingrich). Jimmy Kimmel never graduated from college, but he can play to the gallery and pretend the Republicans are idiots or villains. He&#8217;s a comedian, so he&#8217;s the smartest guy in the room.
This is why Schiff can do no wrong. Which congressman has been vindicated by the evidence on the charge of Russian collusion: Schiff or Nunes? It doesn&#8217;t matter what special counsel Robert Mueller&#8217;s report said — although it showed Schiff was wrong when he said he had definitive evidence of collusion.
It certainly doesn&#8217;t matter what the report from Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz said. Nunes composed a memo on how the hacks in former President Barack Obama&#8217;s Justice Department abused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to spy on Trump&#8217;s transition team. Schiff offered a memo in rebuttal. On each point, Horowitz found that Nunes was right and Schiff was wrong.
Jimmy Kimmel is running a comedy show, not a court proceeding. He just feels in his heart that Schiff is right. He gushes to Schiff and says, &#8220;I am grateful for what you do,&#8221; because they both desperately want to end Trump&#8217;s presidency.

BOZELL & GRAHAM: Jimmy Kimmel Slobbers Over Schiff

Adam Schiff

Media Bias

On Wednesday night, comedian Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Vice President Mike Pence&#8217;s Christian faith once again, jokingly suggesting that he has no plan to stop the coronavirus other than engaging in superstitious nonsense like abstinence.
During his opening monologue, Kimmel reacted to the news that President Donald Trump has tapped Mike Pence to combat the coronavirus, mockingly asserting that perhaps the president wants to kill Mike Pence by handing over such a task to him.
&#8220;Didn&#8217;t it seem Pence didn&#8217;t know that was going to happen? &#8216;I hope the virus isn&#8217;t spread by kissing ass, because if it is, they&#8217;ve got the wrong guy!&#8217; Seriously,&#8221; Kimmel said, as reported by <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/kristine-marsh/2020/02/27/kimmel-mocks-mike-pences-faith-whats-his-plan-stop-virus">Newsbusters</a>.  &#8220;Mike Pence is in trouble. Why is Mike Pence, why is Mike Pence in charge? What is his plan to stop the virus, abstinence? I think Trump might be trying to kill him, I really do.&#8221;
The jokes prompted loud applause and laughter from Kimmel&#8217;s audience.
Jimmy Kimmel, an avowed critic of President Trump, has previously used Mike Pence&#8217;s Christian faith as fuel for his jokes. When hosting the Oscars in 2019, he famously joked that movies like &#8220;Call Me By Your Name,&#8221; which depicted a gay relationship between a mature 25-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy, were created specifically to upset Christians like Mike Pence.
<blockquote>Another young man nominated for the first time is Timothée Chalamet tonight. Look at that tux. Are you having fun? This is a big deal. He&#8217;s missing &#8220;Paw Patrol&#8221; to be here tonight. Don&#8217;t worry, Ryder and his team of pups saved the day. He&#8217;s the star of a small but powerful story &#8220;Call Me by Your Name.&#8221; Only two of the best picture movies made more than $100 million. That&#8217;s not the point. We don&#8217;t make films for money. We make them to upset Mike Pence. Right?</blockquote>
On Wednesday, Trump gave a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-vice-president-pence-members-coronavirus-task-force-press-conference/">press conference</a> in which he assured Americans that the federal government is taking action to ensure that the coronavirus does not become a pandemic.
“I have just received another briefing from a great group of talented people on the virus that is going around to various parts of the world,” said the president. “We have, through some very good early decisions — decisions that were actually ridiculed at the beginning — we closed up our borders to flights coming in from certain areas, areas that were hit by the coronavirus and hit pretty hard.  And we did it very early … and it turned out to be a very good thing.”
<div>
“And the number one priority from our standpoint is the health and safety of the American people,” he continued. “And that’s the way I viewed it when I made that decision. Because of all we’ve done, the risk to the American people remains very low. We have the greatest experts in the world — really, in the world, right here — people that are called upon by other countries when things like this happen. We’re ready to adapt and we’re ready to do whatever we have to as the disease spreads, if it spreads.”

On Tuesday night, as President Trump delivered his State of the Union speech, Hollywood celebrities, unable to control themselves, (as usual), vented their spleens on Twitter with a series of messages displaying their absolute hatred for the president.

As David Gelernter wrote in <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-real-reason-they-hate-trump-1540148467">The Wall Street Journal</a>:
<blockquote>The difference between citizens who hate Mr. Trump and those who can live with him—whether they love or merely tolerate him—comes down to their views of the typical American: the farmer, factory hand, auto mechanic, machinist, teamster, shop owner, clerk, software engineer, infantryman, truck driver, housewife. The leftist intellectuals I know say they dislike such people insofar as they tend to be conservative Republicans &#8230;
Mr. Trump reminds us who the average American really is. Not the average male American, or the average white American. We know for sure that, come 2020, intellectuals will be dumbfounded at the number of women and blacks who will vote for Mr. Trump. He might be realigning the political map: plain average Americans of every type vs. fancy ones.</blockquote>
Gelernter concluded by painting a vivid picture of those who hate Trump from their elitist positions:
<blockquote>&#8230; what I see on the left is often plain, unconditional hatred of which the hater—God forgive him—is proud. It’s discouraging, even disgusting. And it does mean, I believe, that the Trump-hater truly does hate the average American—male or female, black or white. Often he hates America, too.</blockquote>

State of the Union

Hillary Clinton decided to dabble in comedy over the weekend, but she did the one thing comedians consider a capital offense: She stole a joke.
On Sunday afternoon, the two-time loser posted a &#8220;letter&#8221; on Twitter, purportedly from President John K. Kennedy to then-USSR premier Nikita Khrushchev.
Clinton wrote on the post: &#8220;Found in the archives&#8230;&#8221;
The letter read:
<blockquote>Dear Premier Khruschev,
Don’t be a d*ck, ok? Get your missiles out of Cuba. Everybody will say “Yay! Khruschev! You’re the best!” But if you don’t everybody will be like “what an a**hole” and call your garbage country “the Soviet Bunion.”
You’re really busting my nuts here.
Give you a jingle later.
Hugs,
John Fitzgerald Kennedy</blockquote>

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 20, 2019</blockquote>
The fake letter was intended to ridicule President Trump, who reportedly wrote to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan after announcing the U.S. would pull troops out of Syria. In the letter dated October 9, Trump told Erdogan: &#8220;Don&#8217;t be a tough guy. Don&#8217;t be a fool!&#8221;
&#8220;Let&#8217;s work out a good deal! You don&#8217;t want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I don&#8217;t want to be responsible for destroying the Turkish economy — and I will,&#8221; Trump wrote. &#8220;History will look upon you favorably if you get this done the right and humane way. It will look upon you forever as the devil if good things don&#8217;t happen.&#8221;
So, Clinton&#8217;s attempt to be funny was actually pretty funny.
Except that she stole the gag from a recent episode of &#8220;Jimmy Kimmel Live!&#8221; Word for word.
See the clip below:

When you&#8217;re a high-profile person like Hillary, who has 25 million followers on Twitter, it behooves you to credit the source when you&#8217;re &#8220;borrowing&#8221; something. And Twitterers made sure Clinton got that message.
Jerry Dunleavy of the Washington Examiner pointed out that the letter had first appeared on Kimmel&#8217;s show, while the Washington Post&#8217;s Glenn Kessler wrote, &#8220;Sometimes silence is golden.&#8221;

Clinton, who is still all over the airwaves nearly three years after her humiliating loss in the 2016 presidential election, has become increasingly delusional.
“It truly is remarkable how obsessed he remains with me,” she said last week on the PBS “News Hour.” “But this latest tweet is so typical of him. Nothing has been more examined and looked at than my emails. We all know that. So he’s either lying or delusional or both.”
Then she said, “Maybe there does need to be a rematch.&#8221;
“Obviously, I can beat him again. But, just seriously, I don’t understand, I don’t think anybody understands what motivates him other than personal grievance, other than seeking adulation.”

Hillary Clinton Steals Joke From Late-Night Show, Suffers Mockery On Social Media

On Monday&#8217;s episode of &#8220;The Michael Knowles Show,&#8221; Knowles attacks the Left for applying political correctness selectively. Video and partial transcript below:
It drives me crazy because about once a year there&#8217;s a movie from Hollywood that I actually want to go see. In the last few years, we had &#8220;A Quiet Place,&#8221; we had &#8220;Hail Caesar,&#8221; &#8220;Get Out&#8221; was kind of interesting, but those are the exceptions. Most of the movies were horrendous. So you finally see a movie that looks pretty good, and then it gets canceled.
This is the problem with cancel culture. This is the problem — which is 99.9 percent a Leftist problem, but occasionally conservatives get involved too — which is, we don&#8217;t like you, we&#8217;re going to shut you down, we&#8217;re going to shut you up, or we think we don&#8217;t like you, so we&#8217;re gonna shut you down and shut you out. Bad idea. Just let it out. It&#8217;s ok. They&#8217;ll make a movie. If Hollywood wants to make a bad stupid liberal movie, people aren&#8217;t going to go see it. Hollywood wants to make what seems like a fairly conservative movie. I bet people would have gone to go see it, but you don&#8217;t have to go see it if you don&#8217;t want to.
Now it&#8217;s not just this movie, it&#8217;s not just &#8220;The Hunt.&#8221; Unfortunately, this is a tough day. I&#8217;m having almost as bad a day as Jeffrey Epstein too because not only do I have to defend Hollywood, I have to defend Sarah Silverman, one of my least favorite comedians — if you can even call her a comedian. But she apparently, she was relating this on a podcast — Sarah Silverman apparently just got fired from a movie because, on her own unfunny TV show, she wore blackface one time. I don&#8217;t watch her show. I didn&#8217;t watch the episode. I don&#8217;t know the context of the blackface, but I assume she wasn&#8217;t wearing it to just make fun of black people. I don&#8217;t think she was going out there — I don&#8217;t know that she was singing Al Jolson songs or something. I assume she was doing it for a comedic point, to make some kind of point. And yet she was fired from a movie for it.
<div class="embed video fluid-video"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9fKWO7pNeds" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
So my question is: Has Jimmy Kimmel been fired yet from his show? Jimmy Kimmel wore blackface on &#8220;The Man Show.&#8221; Has Ted Danson been fired from his incredibly good and successful career in Hollywood yet? Ted Danson wore blackface one time to make a point. How about Robert Downey Jr? He wore blackface in that movie &#8220;Tropic Thunder.&#8221; How about Julianne Hough? I don&#8217;t even know who that is. But she is apparently a Hollywood person; she wore blackface. How about Fred Armisen from &#8220;Portlandia&#8221; and SNL? He wore blackface on &#8220;SNL.&#8221; How about Gigi Hadid? How about the Governor of Virginia Ralph Northam, who either wore blackface or a KKK hood? Probably the latter but he hasn&#8217;t copped to either of them — he was just on his medical school yearbook page.
Why are we firing one person for this when we&#8217;re not firing other people? Doesn&#8217;t make a lot of sense. Also are we really going to take away someone&#8217;s career because they wear blackface? I guess, if you&#8217;re gonna do that though, if that&#8217;s the new rule, then you&#8217;ve got to apply it to everyone. And are we going to take away the Wayans Brothers&#8217; careers because they were white face in that movie &#8220;White Girls&#8221; or &#8220;White Chicks.&#8221; Remember that movie was two black guys who put on white face and blonde wigs and they pretended to be white girls. So you&#8217;re allowed to do that but you&#8217;re not allowed to wear blackface? Or I guess you&#8217;re allowed to wear blackface — for virtually every liberal elite in Hollywood — except for Sarah Silverman. I hate defending Sarah Silverman, but I have to do it because it&#8217;s just not applied fairly. There&#8217;s no logic to this cancel culture. There&#8217;s no logic to these new speech codes. There&#8217;s no logic to political correctness. It isn&#8217;t a logical ideology. Political correctness is a cudgel — that&#8217;s all it is. It&#8217;s just a tool. It&#8217;s just a hammer used to smack down your opponents. Which is why it only happens to some people and not others.
You know Meghan Kelly, for goodness sakes, she was on that show and on NBC, and she suggested that wearing blackface isn&#8217;t the worst possible crime, especially let&#8217;s say if you go out and go as Diana Ross — let&#8217;s say for Halloween you darken your skin a little bit to look more like Diana Ross. Maybe that&#8217;s not the end of the world. Maybe you shouldn&#8217;t get fired for that. And she lost her show for that, even though other people on the same network have worn blackface multiple times but nothing happens to them. Now, why did they go after Meghan? Did they go after Meghan because of her comments about blackface? Absolutely not. They went after Meghan because they don&#8217;t like her politics — because they&#8217;re not exceedingly left-wing — and they went after her because they didn&#8217;t like her show. So they were looking for an excuse to get rid of her show, and they used that politically correct excuse as a way to do it. But it wasn&#8217;t about principles, it wasn&#8217;t about values, it wasn&#8217;t about logic. Nothing. And that is always the way political correctness is applied.

KNOWLES: Cancel Culture Comes For Sarah Silverman

Hollywood

Michael Knowles

Political Correctness

Ralph Northam

On Monday night, late night left-wing-politico-who-masquerades-as-a-comedian Jimmy Kimmel went on a rant in which he branded Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell an “evil soulless odd creep,” called Republicans “cowardly” for refusing to appear on left-wing cable news shows after the mass shootings over the weekend, and finished with a flourish, referring to Trump supporters as people who have been “repeatedly punched in the head” and calling President Trump’s sons Donald Jr. and Eric the “Douches of Hazzard” for being fans of MMA fighter Colby Covington.
Kimmel began, “After another weekend of sadness and outrage in the United States, we had two more mass shootings — one on Saturday in El Paso, the other in Dayton Sunday morning — horrible senseless tragedies, again with many lives lost, and again our leaders in one party in particular are offering not much more than their thoughts and their prayers.”
Kimmel continued, “I was thinking and praying about it and both parties say, they say one thing, that we&#8217;re too divided, and this is something we hear a lot, that we need to find something we can agree on. Well, here&#8217;s something that we can agree on: Too many people are being shot with high-powered weapons. I think we agree on that. We agree on this, too: they did a poll last year; 97% of gun owners — these are gun owners — support universal background check. 97%. That&#8217;s unheard of. You can ask people, &#8220;Is ice cream delicious,&#8221; and not get 97%.”
Then Kimmel started getting truly nasty, not only calling McConnell names but boasting that McConnell should get his “bony gray ass” to work to pass bills Kimmel approved of:
<blockquote>The Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, this evil soulless old creep, won&#8217;t even allow the Senate to vote on a bipartisan bill to require background checks for gun purchases a gun shows. There are two bills, each written by Democrats and Republicans together, because background checks, something we agree on, these bills, the bills passed in the House in February and to become law we&#8217;d have to pass them in the Senate too. But Mitch McConnell made sure the Senate couldn&#8217;t even vote on them, he didn&#8217;t bring them to the floor; they left for recess. So tell Mitch McConnell we have some good news. Call him and tell him the good news is we agree on something for a change: we agree that he needs to drag his bony gray ass into work to vote on these bills. Let&#8217;s start with that thing that we all agree on, and go from there, ok?</blockquote>
Kimmel then segued to attacking Republicans for refusing to go on CNN, where they would likely be pilloried for not hewing to the leftist party line: “It&#8217;s unbelievable. Yesterday, 49 Republican members of Congress refused to go on CNN to talk about the shootings. Now the cops in Dayton ran into the line of fire to stop the guy shooting. The politicians were too cowardly to go on cable television to talk about it.”
Then Kimmel got really manipulative, implying that President Trump was so uncaring about the shootings over the weekend that he instead tweeted celebrating the release of A$AP Rocky from a Swedish prison. Kimmel stated, “And meanwhile, this is what our president was busy with this weekend.” He showed a clip of Trump’s tweet.
<div class="embed tweet">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">A$AP Rocky released from prison and on his way home to the United States from Sweden. It was a Rocky Week, get home ASAP A$AP!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1157345692517634049?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 2, 2019</a></blockquote>
</div>
One problem: the tweet was issued on Friday, before the shootings in El Paso and Dayton over the weekend.
Kimmel mocked Trump for tweeting a shout-out to MMA fighter Colby Covington. He continued, &#8220;Like many Americans who have been repeatedly punched in the head, Colby Covington is a big Donald Trump supporter. And there&#8217;s nothing Donald Trump loves more than people who love Donald Trump.&#8221; Kimmel then mocked President Trump&#8217;s sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, for attending a Colby Covington match, calling them, &#8220;The Douches of Hazard.&#8221;

Left-wing late-night host Jimmy Kimmel apparently is not just committed to going political as much as he personally can on his show, he&#8217;s determined to make his guests go there, too. In an interview with U.S. Women&#8217;s Soccer stars Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan Thursday, Kimmel repeatedly steers the conversation toward the progressive agenda, or — as Rapinoe puts it when he first veers into politics — he deliberately &#8220;stirs the pot,&#8221; again and again.
After inviting on Rapinoe and Morgan — who have both been openly critical of President Trump, particularly the former — Kimmel asks a few introductory questions about their seemingly non-stop celebration since winning the World Cup on Sunday and Rapinoe&#8217;s decision to dye her hair pink/purple. But it doesn&#8217;t take long for Kimmel to start hammering &#8220;equal pay,&#8221; driving a wedge between the U.S. women&#8217;s and men&#8217;s teams, and encouraging the stars to start a boycott.
&#8220;Can you answer this question, because I was thinking about this: Why is the American team, your team, so dominant? Why are you guys so much better than everyone else?&#8221; Kimmel asks, a question that has a predetermined direction, as he quickly reveals (video below).
Rapinoe points to Morgan, then lifts an eyebrow and gestures to her whole body, amid claps from the audience. &#8220;Look at her,&#8221; she says. Morgan doesn&#8217;t have much more of a response saying, simply, &#8220;It&#8217;s a good question, um&#8230;&#8221;
But Kimmel cuts Morgan off before she can finish the thought, and instantly takes a jab at the men&#8217;s team in the process. &#8220;It&#8217;s an interesting question, isn&#8217;t it? It&#8217;s not like that with the men&#8217;s team,&#8221; says Kimmel.
Rapinoe responds with a chiding head tilt and a &#8220;stirring the pot&#8221; motion. &#8220;Jimmy!&#8221; Morgan says, wagging her finger.
Then Kimmel calls for a particular clip of the parade in which the president of U.S. Soccer tells the crowd that they invest more money in women&#8217;s soccer than any country in the world, a statement met with chants of &#8220;Equal Pay! Equal Pay!&#8221; from the crowd.
&#8220;So that&#8217;s the president of U.S. Soccer and this has become a big topic of conversation,&#8221; says Kimmel. &#8220;You want equal pay, and by the way, I think it&#8217;s a mistake. Shouldn&#8217;t you be paid more because you [win more often]?&#8221;
That line draws loud applause and cheers from Kimmel&#8217;s audience.
Kimmel goes on to urge the stars to boycott the next World Cup if they don&#8217;t get equal pay, advice Morgan appears reluctant to fully embrace.

Kimmel&#8217;s argument for equal pay does not appear to factor in one key detail: the actual money made by men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s soccer. The pay disparity is a result of the dramatic difference in revenues from men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s leagues. When the actual revenues are factored in, U.S. women are actually paid at a higher percentage than men, notes The Daily Wire&#8217;s <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/49244/walsh-womens-soccer-players-say-they-deserve-equal-matt-walsh">Matt Walsh</a>. Forbes <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozanian/2019/03/07/world-cup-soccer-pay-disparity-between-men-and-women-is-justified/#66cec83e6da4">provided</a> a breakdown of the massive revenue differences between recent World Cups:
<blockquote>As Dwight Jaynes pointed out four years ago after the U.S. women beat Japan to capture the World Cup in Vancouver, there is a big difference in the revenue available to pay the teams. The Women&#8217;s World Cup brought in almost $73 million, of which the players got 13%. The 2010 men&#8217;s World Cup in South Africa made almost $4 billion, of which 9% went to the players.
The men still pull the World Cup money wagon. The men&#8217;s World Cup in Russia generated over $6 billion in revenue, with the participating teams sharing $400 million, less than 7% of revenue. Meanwhile, the Women&#8217;s World Cup is expected to earn $131 million for the full four-year cycle 2019-22 and dole out $30 million to the participating teams.</blockquote>

Jimmy Kimmel used his opening monologue on Thursday night to attack pro-life states for passing what he described as &#8220;strict anti-choice laws.&#8221;
&#8220;Several southern states are doing what they can to overturn Roe v. Wade,&#8221; Kimmel said. &#8220;Conservatives in Mississippi, Georgia, and Alabama have enacted new anti-abortion laws, with the hope they can get the Supreme Court to reverse its decision on the landmark case. Alabama has enacted a near total abortion ban, which is very scary. No woman should ever be forced to raise a child in Alabama. It just shouldn&#8217;t happen.&#8221;
The audience cheered on Kimmel&#8217;s denunciation of Alabama as a state so terrible that children should not even be raised there after being born.
&#8220;Pro-lifers insist they&#8217;re not anti-choice, they say women are still free to pick the name of the baby with the husband&#8217;s permission of course, but these strict anti-choice laws put women&#8217;s reproductive rights at risk and thanks to these laws, not only is the right to get an abortion being threatened, even birth control is becoming more difficult to get,&#8221; Kimmel continued.
The segment then segued into a mean-spirited mock PSA starring actress Rachel Bloom (&#8220;Crazy Ex-Girlfriend&#8221;) as a woman pondering several different &#8220;choices&#8221; upon learning that her state banned abortion and abortifacient contraceptives like Plan B.
&#8220;Now that you&#8217;re actually pregnant, it&#8217;s time to consider other options. Plan D. D is for doctor. Just find someone who claims to be one on Craigslist. Meet them behind a Popeye&#8217;s Fried Chicken and voila. Who says women don&#8217;t have the right to choose?&#8221; the announcer says in the video as a pregnant woman prepares to undergo a creepy back-alley abortion.
The mock PSA ends with the woman holding two babies in her arms and the announcer essentially declaring her to be &#8220;f***ed.&#8221;
<div class="embed video fluid-video"><iframe allowfullscreen frameborder="0" height="360" width="640"></iframe></div>
Kimmel is not the only late-night comedian to denounce the pro-life laws in states like Alabama, Georgia, and Missouri. Stephen Colbert recently <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/16/arts/television/stephen-colbert-jimmy-fallon-alabama-abortion.html">issued a nasty</a> monologue where he not only mocked the lawmakers of Alabama for enacting a strict anti-abortion law but also mocked the very idea that unborn babies are human beings.
&#8220;That is either an overreach by the Alabama G.O.P. or some pretty intense viral marketing for the new season of &#8216;The Handmaid&#8217;s Tale,'&#8221; Colbert said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t get it. If a TV show has to become reality, why can&#8217;t it be &#8216;Star Trek&#8217; so they can beam me off of this planet?&#8221;
Colbert later played the old &#8220;pro-lifers are stuck in the 19th-century&#8221; card. &#8220;They&#8217;re going to throw them right in the Alabama slammer for 99 years,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Let&#8217;s see, it&#8217;s 2019, so by the time those doctors get out of jail in Alabama, it will be 1895.&#8221;

George Clooney is back &#8212; and no, not with another movie (the box office<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/23335/god-great-george-clooney-wants-quit-acting-paul-bois"> took care of that</a>). Instead, the former &#8220;Ocean&#8217;s 11&#8221; star did a parody public service announcement (PSA) on Jimmy Kimmel in which he mocked President Trump and climate change skeptics as &#8220;dumb f***ing idiots.&#8221;
According to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/george-clooney-calls-trump-climate-change-mock-psa-science-1208833">The Hollywood Reporter</a>, Kimmel introduced the parody PSA by referencing a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/06/world/one-million-species-threatened-extinction-humans-scn-intl/index.html">recent report</a> from the United Nations that estimated that there are over one million species that are threatened with extinction because of humans.
Appearing in a suit on Kimmel, Clooney introduced himself as both an actor and director, as well as the &#8220;two-time sexiest man alive titleholder.&#8221;
&#8220;Science enables us to cure diseases, to communicate across great distances and to fly,&#8221; Clooney said in the PSA. &#8220;Tragically, though, the volumes of invaluable knowledge gathered over centuries are now threatened by an epidemic of dumb f***ing idiots saying dumb s**t.&#8221;
The video then showed clips of President Trump and his administration, as well as conservative Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK).
&#8220;Dumb s**t is highly contagious, infecting the minds of even the most stable geniuses,&#8221; Clooney said.
Later, Clooney called on people to combat this &#8220;rampant dumbf***ery&#8221; by supporting the United to Defeat Untruthful Misinformation and Support Science initiative, which was abbreviated as UDUMASS.
Get it?
&#8220;Your generous contribution to UDUMASS will provide desperately needed knowledge to dumb f***ing idiots on Facebook and Twitter all around the world,&#8221; Clooney said. &#8220;Just $20 will convince one f***ng idiot that climate change is real. $50 will teach five brainless dumbf***s to vaccinate their kids and $200 will teach ten dips**t knuckle-draggers that dinosaurs existed, but not at the same time as people.&#8221;
&#8220;Together we can win the fight against dumbf***iness, but we can&#8217;t do it alone,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The world needs your support, UDUMASS.&#8221;

It makes sense that Clooney would appear on Jimmy Kimmel to refer to people that disagree with him as &#8220;dumb f***ing idiots,&#8221; given that his career as a movie star has been seemingly relegated to merely having movie-of-the-week on Hulu. In 2017, his box office performance as both an actor and director had tanked so hard that he <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/george-clooney-interview-suburbicon-matt-damon-75ldpm7h2">openly pondered</a> dropping out of acting altogether.
&#8220;Look, I acted for a long time and, you know, I&#8217;m 56. I&#8217;m not the guy that gets the girl anymore,&#8221; Clooney said before humbly adding that his tequila brand, Casamigos, made him more money than acting. &#8220;Acting used to be how I paid the rent, but I sold a tequila company for a billion f***ing dollars. I don&#8217;t need money.&#8221;
George Clooney&#8217;s previous directorial effort, &#8220;Suburbicon,&#8221; made just a little over $5 million in the box office and currently holds a paltry 5.6 rating on IMDB and an even more paltry 26% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Many reviewers have denounced the film as a pretentious piece of mean-spirited virtue-signaling.
Scott Mendelson of <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2016/05/13/george-clooney-is-a-movie-star-as-long-as-you-dont-need-a-20m-debut/#98ca7ab5488e">Forbes</a> has said that George Clooney can only be considered a movie star as long as the studios are seeking a debut of less than $20 million.

Climate Change

George Clooney

The liberal desire to rebut President Trump is so overwhelming that they&#8217;re now &#8220;fact-checking&#8221; him live or the moment he utters his last sentence. There is an Official Democratic Politician Rebuttal of the State of the Union, but why bother? They need only give links to national &#8220;news&#8221; sites, since the &#8220;news&#8221; anchors will offer their &#8220;context&#8221; as soon as the speech is over.
Or better yet, leave it to the &#8220;comedians.&#8221;
One could easily consider the late-night talk shows to be the Democrat rebuttal. Start with &#8220;The Daily Show&#8221; on Comedy Central, where Trevor Noah quipped, &#8220;The real theme of his speech was that we&#8217;re all going to die, Mexican style. &#8230; This part of his speech was so scary he should have just done it with a flashlight under his chin.&#8221;
Trump was dismissed as dumber than a fifth-grader. &#8220;There was one thing we can all agree on,&#8221; Noah announced. &#8220;He read really well. &#8230; I don&#8217;t know if he&#8217;s ready for a second term, but he&#8217;s definitely ready for the second grade.&#8221;
ABC&#8217;s Jimmy Kimmel had the same lame thought. &#8220;President Trump spoke with all the elegance of a book report written by a third-grader on the bus,&#8221; he said. Kimmel was surely angry that he declared the president a grade smarter than Noah.
Kimmel also joked: &#8220;Trump said, &#8216;We must step boldly and bravely into the next chapter of this great American adventure.&#8217; And that chapter is 11.&#8221; Bankruptcy, get it? Who needs to tell the truth about the economy? Not the comedians.
CBS&#8217; &#8220;Late Show with Stephen Colbert&#8221; is a hot stop for the 46 or so Democrats considering a run for the White House, and Colbert is trying hard to be the most hateful Trump hater of them all. His post-State of the Union show offered a fake translation of Russian President Vladimir Putin. &#8220;Good evening, I&#8217;m Vladimir Putin,&#8221; the female translator said over footage of the real Russian autocrat speaking. &#8220;I agree with President Trump&#8217;s call for unity. Both sides must come together and do exactly what he says. That I told him to say.&#8221;
Fake Putin then makes this unfunny joke: &#8220;We built a wall in Germany, and not one Mexican got into East Berlin.&#8221; Liberals can never tell the difference between a wall to keep citizens in and one to keep illegal immigrants out.
Colbert then added his own thoughts. &#8220;This was not a particularly great speech,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But what it lacked in quality it made up in length. This speech was like watching paint lie.&#8221; Yes, these &#8220;joke&#8221; writers get paid for this.
TBS &#8220;comedian&#8221; Samantha Bee had to wait a night to offer her feckless feminist fusillade. &#8220;My ovaries just tried to move back to Canada,&#8221; she joked about the president&#8217;s passionate pro-life remarks. &#8220;I always knew someday a Republican president would try to take away my right to choose,&#8221; she said, skipping over the fact that she&#8217;s almost 50. &#8220;I just didn&#8217;t think it would be the kind of president who&#8217;s definitely tried to go Dutch on an abortion!&#8221;
This isn&#8217;t new. Last May, she told viewers, &#8220;If Trump hasn&#8217;t paid for at least half a dozen abortions, I will eat this blazer.&#8221;
Bee was only echoing panicked Hollywood feminists who can&#8217;t imagine an abortion limit they could abide. Bette Midler tweeted after the speech: &#8220;Buy stock in coat hangers! Here we go, 60 years, back to the back alleys!&#8221; Alyssa Milano added, &#8220;Government doesn&#8217;t get any bigger than when it is in a uterus.&#8221;
When you&#8217;re the Resistance, the counterarguments don&#8217;t have to have internal logic, and they certainly don&#8217;t have to be funny. They just need to be loaded with passionate fear and loathing. The cultural elite offers a perpetual geyser of hate.
Hollywood would like America to believe it reflects our nation&#8217;s pulse. Well, 76 percent of Americans approved of this speech by the second- or third-grader who&#8217;s destroying our economy as a pawn of Russia because he wants to kill pregnant women.

BOZELL & GRAHAM: Trump’s Address Meets Late-Night Resistance

Stephen Colbert

The blackface nightmare Democrats are facing in Virginia has curiously not been referenced at all on the late-night shows of a couple of popular liberal hosts. Both Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon have avoided commenting on Demoratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam&#8217;s infamous blackface/KKK photo (and his Michael Jackson impersonation), nor have either acknowledged the new admission by the Democrat who&#8217;s second in line for the governorship that he too dressed in blackface.
While Fallon is less political than Kimmel, he has allowed himself to get a bit more political after massive backlash from his liberal audience over his decision to interview then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016, which critics blasted as helping to &#8220;normalize&#8221; Trump. Kimmel, meanwhile, has embraced left-wing politics enthusiastically, frequently using his show to hammer various Democratic talking points and regularly condemning Trump.
But though Kimmel in particular is known for his hyper-partisan approach to the big news of the day, it appears that his Democratic sympathies are not the sole reason he&#8217;s avoiding the Virginia blackface controversy: The real reason appears to be that Kimmel, like Fallon, has dressed in blackface in the past.
Here&#8217;s video of one of Kimmel&#8217;s now infamous &#8220;Man Show&#8221; sketches mocking African American NBA great Karl Malone in which he says, &#8220;Sometime at night, Karl Malone look up at the sky and say what duh hell goin&#8217; on up der?&#8221;

But that wasn&#8217;t his only blackface sketch; Kimmel not only enjoyed playing Malone, he also darkened his face up to mock Oprah Winfrey.

The blackface controversy in Virginia was prompted by the unearthing of an old photo on the personal med school yearbook page of Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam. After apologoizing for a photo showing one man in blackface and another in a KKK hood, Northam has since asserted that he is not in the photo, but has admitted to dressing up like Michael Jackson at another event. Northam became a national name after defending letting born-alive children die if the mother chooses not to save them.
The second in line for the job should Northam step down, as his fellow Democrats are demanding, has since come forward to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/43126/breaking-virginias-ag-may-have-his-own-scandal-emily-zanotti">admit to wearing blackface once too</a>. The next in line for the Virginia governorship after Northam, Democrat Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, has now been publicly accused of rape.

WATCH: Here Are The Liberal Late-Night Hosts Who Wore Blackface

Jimmy Fallon

On Thursday night, good ol&#8217; lovable Jimmy Kimmel, whose dripping condescension toward conservatives seemingly permeates every fiber of his being, declared that the people who have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/39599/border-wall-gofundme-account-raises-over-12-james-barrett">contributed over $12 million</a> to the GoFundMe page to build a wall along the southern border of the United States, are &#8220;very dopey people&#8221; who are &#8220;dipping into their meth money.&#8221;
Kimmel started by noting President Trump&#8217;s pledge to shut down the government unless he got $5 billion in finding for the border wall:
<blockquote>
Trump is leaving Washington, D.C. an absolute mess. He caused quite a thing today. He announced today he&#8217;s not going to sign a resolution to fund the government. This is a deal that was crafted by Republicans. They thought he was going to sign it. He surprised them and said, I&#8217;m not signing it unless I get the $5 billion I want for my border wall. If he doesn&#8217;t get that money, which he won&#8217;t, tomorrow night at midnight the government will shut down, which means hundreds of thousands of workers won&#8217;t get paid.
</blockquote>
Kimmel mocked, &#8220;Basically, Trump is taking paychecks from federal employees at Christmas time to punish Congress for not paying for a wall he swore 500 times Mexico would be paying for. So Feliz Navidad, everyone. But here&#8217;s the twist. The twist is the President might not need Mexico or Congress to pay for the wall at all because there are some very dopey people ready to pay for it themselves.&#8221;
Kimmel referred to the creator of the GoFundMe page, Brian Kolfage, an Iraq War veteran and three-time amputee, as &#8220;This Trump supporter,&#8221; leering, &#8220;This Trump supporter, a guy named Brian Kolfage, started a GoFundMe campaign to raise $1 billion for the wall. He launched it on Sunday. It&#8217;s already up to almost $9 million.&#8221;
Then he segued to mocking the people who put up their own money to fund a border wall:
<blockquote>
People, this is what people do with their disposable income when they don&#8217;t have loans from college to pay off. Donating money for a wall that will never exist. It&#8217;s like starting a college fund for Harry Potter. It&#8217;s a, it&#8217;s a waste. A more useful thing to do with your money would be to go outside and feed it to a bird but you do have to admire the sacrifice they&#8217;re making. I mean, a lot of these people are dipping into their meth money for this &#8230;
</blockquote>
Interviewed on Fox News, Kolfage explained his motivation:
<blockquote>
As a veteran who has given so much, 3 limbs, I feel deeply invested to this nation to ensure future generations have everything we have today. Too many Americans have been murdered by illegal aliens and too many illegals are taking advantage of the United States taxpayers with no means of ever contributing to our society. I have grandparents who immigrated to America legally, they did it the correct way and it&#8217;s time we uphold our laws, and get this wall BUILT! It&#8217;s up to Americans to help out and pitch in to get this project rolling. If the 63 million people who voted for Trump each pledge $80, we can build the wall. That equates to roughly five billion dollars, even if we get half, that&#8217;s half the wall. We can do this.

WATCH: Kimmel Mocks Donors To GoFundMe Page For Border Wall: ‘Dopey People … These People Are Dipping Into Their Meth Money For This’

Southern Border

On Tuesday night, Jimmy Kimmel presented a skit in which he conversed with God (played by Billy Crystal) and Satan (played by Dave Grohl) to decide whether Ted Cruz should go to Hell.
Ultimately, Crystal and Grohl played &#8220;rock, paper, scissors&#8221; to determine Cruz&#8217;s fate, as neither of them wanted him, and Crystal issued some insults directed at Cruz.
Cruz fired back on Twitter, writing, &#8220;Really getting into the Christmas spirit, Jimmy Kimmel just aired a skit with &#8216;God &amp; Satan&#8217; arguing and eventually deciding that I should go to Hell. It&#8217;s almost as if Jimmy&#8217;s feelings are still hurt that I kicked his ass at hoops.&#8221;

</div>
The segment began with Kimmel discussing an exhibit currently on display in the Illinois state capitol in Springfield that came from the Satanic Temple of Chicago. The statue, called the &#8220;Snaketivity,&#8221; displays a woman&#8217;s arm, with a snake curled around it, while the arm holds an apple aloft, to represent the Biblical tale of Eve and the serpent.
Kimmel stated, &#8220;When things like this happen, I go directly to the top; I don&#8217;t mess around, and in this case, that is God, so, God, are you there?&#8221;
The screen behind Kimmel then showed Crystal as God, prompting a conversation. After some bantering back and forth about Chicago not being the capital of Illinois, Kimmel asked Crystal if he wanted the statue removed from the building. Crystal replied, &#8220;Removed? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I&#8217;m fine with it. Me and Satan, we&#8217;re cool.&#8221;
Kimmel asked, &#8220;What do you mean, you and Satan are cool?&#8221;
Crystal: &#8220;We made up.&#8221; Crystal then called Grohl, dressed as Satan, to join him. Crystal said he and Satan occasionally had brunch together, prompting Grohl to remark, &#8221;And then we figure out who goes where.&#8221;
Crystal: &#8220;Yeah, yeah. That&#8217;s our big game. Who goes where.&#8221; He turned to Grohl, saying, &#8220;So, uh, which one of us is gonna get Ted Cruz?&#8221; They both made faces; Grohl suggested, &#8220;Rock, paper, scissors?&#8221; Crystal won, then chortled, &#8220;Rock, paper, scissors; he&#8217;s all yours!&#8221; Grohl countered, &#8220;Wait, you won! He&#8217;s all yours!&#8221;
Crystal: &#8221;No, no, I don&#8217;t want him.&#8221; Turning to Kimmel, he continued, &#8220;Jimmy, that face? For eternity? Ew.&#8221; Grohl, protesting. &#8220;I don&#8217;t want him either! I don&#8217;t want him either!&#8221; Crystal: &#8220;Tough luck, buddy, I won!&#8221;
Kimmel thanked them, saying, &#8220;Have a Merry Christmas.&#8221;
Kimmel has mocked Cruz for some time; in September 2017, after Cruz&#8217;s Twitter account mistakenly &#8220;liked&#8221; a porn image, Kimmel tweeted, &#8220;Well done @ TedCruz using the power of &#8216;like&#8217; to illustrate the evils of porn.&#8221;
Cruz got even, though; in June 2018, after Kimmel joked that Cruz resembled a blobfish, as <a href="https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Cruz-edges-out-Kimmel-in-charity-basketball-game-13000976.php">the Houston Chronicle reported</a>. Cruz challenged Kimmel to one-on-one in basketball for charity and beat him, 11-9. As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/31945/sen-ted-cruz-rousts-late-night-host-jimmy-kimmel-emily-zanotti">The Daily Wire</a> reported, &#8220;Originally, the game was supposed to be a first-to-fifteen points contest, but after an hour of dribbling, missed shots, and air-balls, the pair of contenders agreed that the game would be won by the first man to reach 11 points, with a two-point lead over their opponent.&#8221;

Jimmy Kimmel Skit Says Ted Cruz Should Be In Hell. Cruz Crushes Him.

Ted Cruz

On Thursday, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel continued his steady stream of Donald Trump-themed monologues, with a series of partisan takes on the most recent Trump news. While his audience enthusiastically applauded most of his jabs at Trump, one missed the mark with a segment of the audience, who responded with groans to the host going out of his way to drop a sexual joke about Trump&#8217;s daughter.
Referencing recent reports that one of the leading candidates to replace Gen. John Kelly as Trump&#8217;s chief of staff is none other then Trump&#8217;s son-in-law and key adviser Jared Kushner, Kimmel decided to work in a sexual reference to his wife, Ivanka.
&#8220;I guess the thinking of [Trump] is: if he&#8217;s good enough to screw my daughter, he&#8217;s good enough to screw the country,&#8221; said Kimmel.
The response from the usually quick-to-laugh audience was mixed, some groaning loudly at the tasteless joke.
&#8220;I hope he hires Jared,&#8221; Kimmel added, attempting to move on quickly. &#8220;I hope he hires Jared and then he fires Jared so we go through the whole thing.&#8221;
The sexual joke followed a series of other predictably Trump-disparaging quips that conveniently highlighted as much of the bad reports surrounding the president as he could muster in the brief monologue.
Among the topics he ran through was Trump canceling the annual White House holiday party for the press, which Kimmel used as a means of fantasizing about Trump canceling the Republican Party altogether, an idea that got big cheers from his audience. If Trump were to hold the party for the press, suggested Kimmel, it would end up like the bloody &#8220;red wedding&#8221; from &#8220;Game of Thrones.&#8221;
Describing Trump as &#8220;Old Yeller,&#8221; Kimmel then commented on him &#8220;barking up quite a storm on Twitter this morning&#8221; about his former lawyer Michael Cohen&#8217;s claim that he sent illegal &#8220;hush money&#8221; payments to Trump&#8217;s alleged former mistresses at Trump&#8217;s direction. Kimmel then read through part of one of Trump&#8217;s tweets:
<blockquote>
I never directed Michael Cohen to break the law. He was a lawyer and he is supposed to know the law. It is called &#8216;advice of counsel,&#8217; and a lawyer has great liability if a mistake is made.
</blockquote>
&#8220;That&#8217;s actually true,&#8221; said Kimmel, who appeared to be struggling at times to get through the monologue. &#8220;He didn&#8217;t tell Michael Cohen to break the law. He paid him to break the law.&#8221; Kimmel then offered a flashback of Trump saying he didn&#8217;t know about the $130,000 NDA payment to Stormy Daniels.
&#8220;First it was I never had sex with those women, then it was I never paid those women, now it&#8217;s I assumed it was legal to pay those women,&#8221; said Kimmel. &#8220;Next week he&#8217;ll say he didn&#8217;t know they were women, that&#8217;s why he asked them to take off their clothes.&#8221; His crowd liked that joke much more than the Ivanka reference.
Kimmel then moved on to the newly announced investigation into Trump&#8217;s inaugural committee, which spent a record $103 million and is now reportedly under scrutiny for potential redirection of funds. For that Trump-damaging story, Kimmel worked in a joke dissing the committee for only being able to land &#8220;Three Doors Down.&#8221;

WATCH: Jimmy Kimmel Cracks Sexual Joke About Ivanka Trump, Gets Shamed By Some Of His Audience

Ivanka Trump

Jared Kushner

Trump Administration

Leftists have placed all their hopes for the Supreme Court onto the shoulders of a frail 85-year-old woman, whose potential death could send them into a panic.
Upon news that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had to be hospitalized this week following a bad fall that broke three ribs, leftists expressed terror that her time on the Supreme Court may be over. Jimmy Kimmel went as far to caution his viewers during his late-night show on Thursday night that they must &#8220;protect&#8221; the elderly justice &#8220;at all cost&#8221; so that she could stay on the Court &#8220;another 80 years.&#8221;
&#8220;For obvious reasons, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is someone we need to protect at all cost,&#8221; Jimmy Kimmel said on Thursday. &#8220;We need her to keep going for like another, maybe, 80 years.&#8221;
Keeping it light, Kimmel then joked about &#8220;Ruth Bader Gins-bubble&#8221; that would protect the woman from all harm, including grizzly bears.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve been developing this over the last year,&#8221; Kimmel continued. &#8220;We&#8217;re sending this to Washington to protect Justice Ginsburg from injuries, for criminals, from bears &#8212; this thing is actually grizzly bear-proof.&#8221;
&#8220;We are going to have to figure out the bathroom situation,&#8221; he added.
Not that Kimmel or anyone has anything to fear after Ginsburg&#8217;s fall. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-film-ruth-bader-ginsburg/justice-ginsburg-up-and-working-after-breaking-ribs-nephew-says-idUSKCN1NE0XO" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Reports </a>now indicate that she is on her way to a full recovery.
&#8220;The last I heard she was up and working, of course, because what else would she be doing, and cracking jokes,&#8221; Kimmel said. &#8220;I can&#8217;t promise they were good jokes but they were jokes.&#8221;
<div class="embed video fluid-video"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pgYOe9WwYOY" width="560"></iframe></div>
The news of Ginsburg&#8217;s injury brought such distress to her supporters that they immediately <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/38128/people-offer-their-ribs-organs-save-ruth-bader-paul-bois">began offering whatever rib or organ</a> she needed to survive. Some of even offered to give their lives up to keep her safe.
&#8220;If Ruth Bader Ginsburg needs any of my bones or internal organs I don&#8217;t need mine,&#8221; said actress Leslie Grossman.
&#8220;I hereby donate all of my ribs and organs to Ruth Bader Ginsburg,&#8221; said journalist Lauren Duca.
&#8220;I will literally give 3 ribs to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg if she needs them, along with whichever other body parts she requires until 2020,&#8221; said activist and WaPo contributor Holly Figueroa O&#8217;Reilly.
According to the <a href="https://www.apnews.com/5cb91423ce954e1d8520eba25fc9262a">Associated Press</a>, Ginsburg has had a history of health problems that she has overcome in recent years.
&#8220;Ginsburg has had a series of health problems,&#8221; reports AP. &#8220;She broke two ribs in a fall in 2012. She has had two prior bouts with cancer and had a stent implanted to open a blocked artery in 2014. She also was hospitalized after a bad reaction to medicine in 2009.&#8221;
At 85, Justice Ginsburg has made no plans to retire from her Supreme Court seat, which, if filled by a conservative, would dramatically alter the court&#8217;s makeup for decades to come. In the early Obama years, progressive activists were hoping she would announce her retirement so that the former president could replace her with an equally liberal judge. After the 2014 midterm, when Republicans took back the Senate, her retirement became all the less likely. Now that President Trump sits in the oval office and Republicans control the Senate, Ginsburg will likely stay on until well past 2020.

Kimmel: We Must Protect Ruth Bader Ginsburg ‘At All Cost’

Supreme Court

On Tuesday night, left-wing late-night host Jimmy Kimmel once again spoke condescendingly of Kanye West, issuing the most backhanded of backhanded compliments &#8212; that managed to get one essential detail wrong.
West set the internet ablaze once again with a single tweet Tuesday announcing that he was stepping back from politics after coming to realize that he&#8217;d been &#8220;used&#8221; to promote messages he doesn&#8217;t endorse.
&#8220;My eyes are now wide open and now realize I&#8217;ve been used to spread messages I don&#8217;t believe in,&#8221; West <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/37787/kanye-distance-himself-politics-ive-been-used-amanda-prestigiacomo">wrote</a>. &#8220;I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative.&#8221;
Before posting that comment, Kanye issued a tweet referencing Candace Owens&#8217; &#8220;Blexit&#8221; campaign, which encourages African Americans to leave the Democratic Party. Many believed initially that West was behind it, but he made clear that he has &#8220;nothing to do with it.&#8221;
&#8220;I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo and they didn&#8217;t want their name on it so she used mine,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it.&#8221;

Despite the context of his comment about being &#8220;used,&#8221; Trump critics interpreted his statement as an indirect reference to the president. One of those Trump critics was Kimmel, who, as <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/jimmy-kimmel-talks-kanye-west-stepping-away-politics-1156744">THR</a> reports, celebrated that West&#8217;s &#8220;voices in his head&#8221; were finally &#8220;starting to talk sense.&#8221;
&#8220;Now the president doesn&#8217;t even have Kanye anymore,&#8221; said Kimmel, sharing West&#8217;s second tweet about distancing himself from politics. &#8220;Finally, the voices in his head are starting to talk sense.&#8221;
Kimmel then announced in a racially charged comment: &#8220;And if there are any black celebrities out there who would like to be the president&#8217;s only African-American supporter, that position is now officially open.&#8221;
The only problem is that Kimmel, once again, got a key detail wrong. In comments to TMZ Tuesday following his &#8220;used&#8221; tweet, West made clear that he wasn&#8217;t talking about President Trump at all.
&#8220;Kanye contacted us to make it clear he did not mention Donald Trump in his tweets, and he&#8217;s getting out of politics altogether,&#8221; <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2018/10/30/kanye-west-donald-trump-used-blexit-candace-owens/">TMZ</a> reported. &#8220;As for being &#8216;used&#8217; &#8230; he says he was specifically referencing Blexit, and that&#8217;s it.&#8221;
To the disappointment of Trump critics, West&#8217;s tweet wasn&#8217;t him trashing Trump; and just because he&#8217;s &#8220;distancing&#8221; himself from politics doesn&#8217;t mean he no longer supports the president, as Kimmel wants his audience to believe.
As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/34328/watch-kanye-slams-idea-blacks-must-vote-democrat-james-barrett">reported</a>, West appeared on Kimmel&#8217;s show in August and said a bunch of things that clearly made the left-wing host uncomfortable.
&#8220;As a musician, African-American, guy out in Hollywood, all these different things, everyone around me tried to pick my candidate for me,&#8221; West told Kimmel about his decision to support Trump. &#8220;And then told me every time I said I liked Trump that I couldn&#8217;t say it out loud or my career would be over, I&#8217;d get kicked out of the black community &#8212; because blacks, we&#8217;re supposed to have a monolithic thought &#8230; we can only be Democrats and all.&#8221;

Kimmel Says Voices In Kanye’s Head Are ‘Starting To Talk Sense,’ But Gets Key Detail Wrong

Kanye West

NBC was aghast that Megyn Kelly said it was once OK to color your skin during Halloween when she was a kid.
&#8221;But what is racist?&#8221; she said on her NBC morning show last week. &#8220;Because you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween, or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween. Back when I was a kid that was OK, as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character.&#8221;
Kelly was quickly drummed out of NBC and accused of being a racist.
Now, before we go on, we want to point out that Kelly didn&#8217;t actually appear in blackface, dressed up like, say, Aunt Jemima. She just said those words.
But now it turns out several NBC stars have dressed up in blackface, and in whiteface &#8212; including one who fiercely criticized Kelly.
NBC News anchor Lester Holt once dressed as British pop singer and YouTube sensation Susan Boyle for Halloween, complete with wig and a dress, but also wearing whiteface, <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/online/lester-holt-dressed-up-as-a-woman-in-whiteface-fallon-in-blackface-what-exactly-is-nbcs-policy/">Mediaite reported</a>. Ironically, Holt did so for an appearance on the Today Show &#8212; the very same show from which Kelly was fired.
See a <a href="https://pagesix.com/2017/10/03/the-today-shows-most-unsettling-halloween-costumes/slide-6/">picture here</a>, posted on Page Six of the New York Post.
Fox News&#8217; Tucker Carlson discussed Holt on his show Tuesday.
&#8220;He has changed his appearance in a way that is now very controversial. He wore that costume for a Halloween episode of the &#8216;Today&#8217; show, Megyn Kelly of course was just fired for suggesting that it wasn&#8217;t always bad to dress up as a member of an opposite race,&#8221; Carlson said.
At the 2016 Golden Globes, Jimmy Fallon, another NBC star, wore blackface during an impersonation of comedian Chris Rock. He also did the same during a &#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221; sketch in 2000.
<div class="embed video fluid-video"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen frameborder="0" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/E37BSMRA7-o" width="1280"></iframe></div>
And ABC late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel also donned blackface for a skit back in 2000, when he appeared in blackface to pretend he was NBA Hall of Famer Karl Malone on Comedy Central&#8217;s &#8220;The Man Show.&#8221;
<div class="embed video fluid-video"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen frameborder="0" height="722" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-wse5lgIDxM" width="963"></iframe></div>
And who can forget the time &#8220;30 Rock,&#8221; another NBC show, featured Tracy Morgan as a white woman and Jane Krakowski in blackface.
But &#8203;Carlson rightly said the whole thing is silly, and noted that whiteface is not exactly blackface, which has a long history.
&#8220;Look, I just want to be clear, I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s an equivalence between the two. There is a long history of one and not of the other. But I also wonder, I don&#8217;t think, there are like five people in America who would be deeply offended by what Lester Holt did. I&#8217;m not offended by it. Maybe though if you dress like that you should be slightly less self-righteous in the face of other people&#8217;s transgressions.&#8221;

Racism

Now that NBC has handed Megyn Kelly her walking papers for her remarks about Real Housewives of New York star Luann de Lesseps, who was called racist for darkening her skin to dress as Diana Ross, it should be noted that America&#8217;s major news networks seem to be rather inconsistent about the darkening of skin for comedic purposes. Back in 2000, Jimmy Kimmel notoriously appeared in blackface to pretend he was NBA Hall of Famer Karl Malone on Comedy Central&#8217;s &#8220;The Man Show.&#8221;
Kelly, speaking of Lesseps, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/37548/yes-blackface-terrible-no-megyn-kelly-isnt-racist-ben-shapiro">stated</a>, &#8220;And people said that that was racist. And I don&#8217;t know! I thought like, who doesn&#8217;t love Diana Ross? She wants to look like Diana Ross for one day, and I don&#8217;t know how that got racist on Halloween.&#8221;
That got her fired.
Kimmel, on the other hand, had this to say as he mimicked Malone: (note the broken English)
<blockquote>
Sometime at night, Karl Malone look up at sky and say, &#8220;What the hell goin&#8217; on up there? Do UFO live on other planet, phonin&#8217; home like E.T.?&#8217; Karl Malone read on TV about white people gettin&#8217; deducted (sic) by alien, speakin&#8217; all kind of hell up they butt. And that&#8217;s a damn thing. Now, Karl Malone never seen no flyin&#8217; saucer itself, but if he do, that goin&#8217; to be a spooky time. That&#8217;s why Karl Malone say, &#8216;Government got to step up and give 102% to keepin&#8217; them little green men of this here earth, &#8216;cause the day them dudes sticks somethin&#8217; up Karl Malone butt, well, that ain&#8217;t gonna be no good time for nobody, especially Karl Malone butt. Listen up, E.T.&#8217; you better stay the hell back. Nanoo, nanoo. Until next time, this here Karl Malone.
</blockquote>
As The Daily Wire<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/37605/nbc-news-reportedly-fires-kelly-over-faux-outrage-ben-shapiro"> noted</a> after Kelly was fired:
<blockquote>
NBC News played up her comments, featuring them on Lester Holt&#8217;s nightly news show; the head of NBC News, Andy Lack, blasted Kelly on Wednesday, stating, &#8220;There is no other way to put this: I condemn those remarks; there is no place on our air or in this workplace for them.&#8221;
</blockquote>
But Kimmel? He not only wore blackface, he mocked Malone as being unable to speak articulate English. Where is ABC on this crucial issue?
This couldn&#8217;t have anything to do with ratings, could it? As <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/megyn-kelly-today-nbc-ratings-blackface/">The Wrap</a> reported of Kelly&#8217;s ratings:
<blockquote>
From September 2017 to September 2018, Kelly&#8217;s 9 a.m. ET show fell 13 percent overall from its predecessor (2.8 million vs. 2.4 million), which was just a third hour of the &#8220;Today&#8221; show, hosted by Tamron Hall and Al Roker. The decline versus Septembers 2016-2017 was twice as bad on a percentage basis among adults 25-54, the key demographic for news programming.
&#8220;Megyn Kelly Today&#8221; also shed 26 percent of its viewers ages 18-49, and it was actually off two points more than that among young women &#8230;
Here are her total-viewer drops per quarter when compared with the final year of the previous format: 
Q4 2017: -19.49% 
Q1 2018: -17.16% 
Q2 2018: -9.88% 
Q3 2018: -4.79%

FLASHBACK: That Time Jimmy Kimmel Didn’t Think Blackface Was Bad

Feminists&#8217; silence over woke comedian Jimmy Kimmel&#8217;s misogynistic treatment of White House advisor Kellyanne Conway is yet more evidence of their hyperpartisan hypocrisy.
On Wednesday night, Kimmel resurrected that disgusting, mangled-face puppet of Conway again, because maligning a conservative woman&#8217;s appearance passes for humor in leftist circles.
During the three-minute segment, Kimmel interviewed the White House &#8220;spokespuppet&#8221; on musician Kanye West&#8217;s visit with President Trump. This time, not only was Conway presented as a mangle-faced airhead, her head was also shaved to fit into her new &#8220;rapper&#8221; image.
&#8220;Are you okay, what happened to your hair?&#8221; Kimmel asked the puppet.
The puppet responded, &#8220;I&#8217;m not Kellyanne Conway anymore. I&#8217;m Kellyanne Kanye. We down with Kanye West.&#8221;
The puppet later reveals that President Trump&#8217;s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has also become a rapper and will be releasing his own album soon.
The Conway puppet<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/2017/07/12/jimmy-kimmel-airs-fake-interview-with-grotesque-puppet-of-pro-life-advisor-kellyanne-conway/"> first made an appearance</a> on Kimmel in mid-2017 at the height of the Russia collusion investigation. It reared its ugly head once again this past January during the anniversary of President Trump&#8217;s inauguration. No feminist has called for its removal from the show.
Since President Trump&#8217;s election, Conway has been mocked in the most &#8220;unfeminist&#8221; of fashions by self-proclaimed crusaders in the &#8220;War on Women.&#8221; Insults hurled at her range from &#8220;<a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/news/342010-colbert-trolls-satans-trophy-wife-conway-for-holding-up-signs">Satan&#8217;s trophy wife</a>&#8221; to a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/23570/simpsons-compare-kellyanne-conway-hitler-paul-bois">female Joseph Goebbels</a>.
The only noted feminist to defend Conway against the barrage of sexist attacks against her is, believe it or not, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/16563/lena-dunham-actually-defends-kellyanne-conway-paul-bois">Lena Dunham</a>.
