We’re told by feminists and members of the elite media that we are not to comment on what women politicians are wearing because that would be sexist. Yet this past week, the mainstream media fawned over Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ Timberland boots, even though some outlets previously ripped First Lady Melania Trump for wearing the same brand.
On Wednesday, multiple media outlets covered Harris’ choice to wear Timberland boots while visiting areas affected by the California wildfires. The most bootlicking (pun intended) of which came from Yahoo!Finance writer Brian Sozzi, whose headline read: “Kamala Harris may have made Timberland boots cool again.”
The opening paragraph of the article read: “And with one boss like [sic] move, vice presidential hopeful and California Senator Kamala Harris may have brought V.F. Corp.-owned Timberland a long overdue sales boost this fall/winter season.”
Marie Clair similarly applauded Harris’ fashion choice with a headline reading, “Kamala Harris Wears Her Timberlands, Gets Sh*t Done.”
The Yahoo! article is especially egregious since the same outlet ripped Melania Trump for wearing Timberland boots while visiting Puerto Rico with President Donald Trump after the island was hit by Hurricane Maria. “Melania Trump mocked for wearing Timberland Boots: ‘This is not a modelling show,’” read Yahoo!’s headline in October 2017.
In December 2018, Yahoo! and other outlets again chastised Melania for wearing Timberland boots while visiting U.S. troops in Iraq. At that time, the Yahoo! headline read: “Melania Trump mocked for Timberland boots in Iraq,” again citing random Twitter accounts with small followings to make it appear as though Melania was roundly derided.
This isn’t even the first time the media fawned over Harris’ shoe choice. Earlier this month, The Washington Post ran an article headlined: “Kamala D. Harris goes viral – for her shoe choice,” praising the California Senator’s frequent wearing of Chuck Taylor All-Stars on the campaign trail. On Monday, Buzzfeed also drooled over Harris’ shoes with an article titled: “People Are Low-Key Loving That Kamala Harris Has Worn Converse Sneakers For Much Of Her Campaign.”
As podcast host and political commentator Stephen Miller <a href="https://twitter.com/redsteeze/status/1306461220548096001?s=11">pointed out</a> on Twitter, the media’s treatment of the Democratic candidate is far different than its treatment of Republican women. While Harris was still running for president, CBS News political reporter Caitlin Huey-Burns tweeted about an instance at a fashion boutique where CNN national political reporter Maeve Reston jokingly picked out a garish sequin jacket for the Senator to try on. Huey-Burns tweeted a video of the laugh-filled stunt, even though she and the reporters involved are supposed to be straight-news journalists and not opinion writers, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/reporters-pause-political-journalism-to-pick-out-clothing-for-kamala-harris-on-campaign-trail">pointed out</a> at the time.
The media has struggled with whether to cover what female politicians wear, with outlets like Vox calling such coverage “sexist” (when it comes to Democrat fashion choices) while The Atlantic insisted it was “not sexist.” As expected, the sexist/not-sexist line is drawn along party lines, where it is okay to mock Republicans but sexist to mock Democrats.
After Harris was announced as the VP candidate, The Washington Post ran an article about “How sexism is going to make Kamala Harris’ life harder,” completely ignoring how the outlet covered former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin when she was the Republican VP choice in 2008.

Media Bias

Melania Trump

Following Melania Trump&#8217;s speech at the RNC on Tuesday night, rapper and former stripper Cardi B suggested on Twitter that the first lady is a former prostitute.
Cardi B, who <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-47718477">admitted to previously</a> drugging men and stealing from them, made her insinuation after former congressional candidate DeAnna Lorraine declared, &#8220;America needs far more women like Melania Trump and far less like Cardi B.&#8221;
&#8220;Didn’t she used to sell that WAP?&#8221; replied Cardi B in reference to her song &#8220;Wet A** P***y&#8221; (WAP).
Cardi B then shared a censored photo of Melani Trump topless prior to her marriage to Donald Trump. &#8220;This pic giving me &#8216;yea you f***in wit some wet a** p***y&#8217;  vibes &#8230;just sayin,” she <a href="https://twitter.com/iamcardib/status/1298471455512858629?s=21">captioned</a>.
During her speech at the RNC, Melania Trump <a href="https://www.vox.com/2020/8/25/21402110/rnc-2020-melania-trump-speech-full-text">spoke about her</a> experiences as an immigrant woman having grown up under communist rule in Slovenia. She also referred to her first lady tenure as an &#8220;unforgettable&#8221; time in her life:
<blockquote>
I arrived in the United States when I was 26 years old, living and working in the land of opportunity was a dream come true, but I wanted more. I wanted to be a citizen. After ten years of paperwork and patience, I studied for the test in 2006 and became an American citizen. It is still one of the proudest moments in my life, because with hard work and determination, I was able to achieve my own American dream.
As an immigrant and a very independent woman, I understand what a privilege it is to live here and to enjoy the freedoms and opportunities that we have. As first lady, I have been fortunate to see the American dream come true over and over again. I have met many inspiring women, children, parents, and families who have overcome life-changing issues that include addiction, homelessness, family members who are ill or have passed away, abuse of all kinds, and many other challenges that would make most people give up.
The past three-and-a-half years have been unforgettable. There are no words to describe how honored, humbled, and fortunate I am to serve our nation as your first lady. After many of the experiences I have had, I don’t know if I can fully explain how many people I take home with me in my heart each day, from brave soldiers who give up so much so that we can be free, to children of all circumstances who I have met around the world.
</blockquote>
Cardi B was not the only pro-Biden troll spewing nasty insults about Melania Trump on Tuesday night; actress/singer Bette Midler jumped into the mix by mocking the first lady&#8217;s accent.
&#8220;Oh, God. She still can’t speak English,&#8221; Midler tweeted.
&#8220;You are one lucky Slovenian! And after all that surgery, you hit a kind of horrible jackpot, chained to [a] colossal idiot,&#8221; she added.

Cardi B After Melania Trump Speech: ‘Didn’t She Used To Sell That’ ‘Wet A** P***y?’

Cardi B

When First Lady Melania Trump delivered her speech Tuesday night for the Republican National Convention, CNN political analyst Brian Karem, who also serves as a White house correspondent for Playboy, responded to faux-comedienne Kathy Griffin’s tweet “Seriously, f*** this bitch” with a typically objective reply for a left-wing journalist: “Makes me want to vomit.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In June 2019, Karem was accused of <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/cnn-analyst-fake-news-trump-tweet">spreading</a> &#8220;fake news&#8221; on Twitter after claiming that the paper President Trump waved of a written agreement between the U.S. and Mexico was blank.

Karem later <a href="https://twitter.com/BrianKarem/status/1138497083596574720">updated</a> his initial tweet.
In July 2019, at President Trump’s social media summit, Karem sounded off again. As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-cnn-contributor-threatens-gorka-gorka-doesnt-ryan-saavedra">The Daily Wire</a> reported, “Karem looked at a group of individuals, many of whom were Trump supporters, that had been selected to attend the White House’s Social Media Summit and said, “‘This is a group of people that are eager for demonic possession.’”
Last month, Karem <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/playboy-brian-karem-mcenany-wear-a-mask">heckled</a> White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany as she left the podium following a press briefing, yelling, &#8220;Hey Kayleigh, wear a mask!&#8221;
The contempt mainstream media has shown for Melania Trump goes <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ny-times-yes-one-our-reporters-called-melania-james-barrett">back years</a>; in February 2017, The New York Times <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/on-media/2017/02/nyt-reprimands-reporter-for-calling-melania-trump-a-hooker-234962">admitted</a> that one of its reporters was spreading the rumor that First Lady Melania Trump had worked as a &#8220;hooker&#8221; for an escort service. A Times spokesman <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/on-media/2017/02/nyt-reprimands-reporter-for-calling-melania-trump-a-hooker-234962">said</a>, &#8220;At a party last night, a Times reporter who does not cover Washington or politics, referred to an unfounded rumor regarding Melania Trump. The comment was not intended to be public, but it was nonetheless completely inappropriate and should not have occurred. Editors have talked to the reporter in question about the lapse.&#8221;
In March 2017, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sleazy-porn-journalist-behind-maddows-failed-tax-amanda-prestigiacomo">speaking</a> with MSNBC host Lawrence O&#8217;Donnell, reporter David Cay Johnson said of Melania, &#8220;She did do very sleazy porn.” In October 2017, MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough <a href="https://dw-site-staging.dailywire.com/news/morning-joes-scarborough-rips-melanias-anti-hank-berrien">took aim</a> at Melania Trump’s campaign to curb bullying, saying, “She sleeps actually with the worst bully in America.”
<a href="https://dw-site-staging.dailywire.com/news/cnns-ana-navarro-melania-trump-probably-has-brain-amanda-prestigiacomo">August 2018</a>: CNN commentator and alleged Republican Ana Navarro took aim at First Lady Melania Trump &#8230; saying it was likely &#8220;Melania suffered oxygen deprivation to the brain.&#8221;
Reacting to Mrs. Trump&#8217;s speech regarding cyberbullying and her &#8220;Be Best&#8221; campaign, Navarro stated: &#8220;On [vacation] &amp; I swore I’d stay off political twitter. But damn, girlfriend’s lack of self-awareness &amp; any sense of shame for her husband’s use of the Presidency to bully others, is hard to ignore.

Last May, CNN host Don Lemon <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/don-lemons-anti-trump-rant-takes-swing-at-melania-compares-to-michelle-obama">accused</a> President Donald Trump of being obsessed with former President Barack Obama, including Obama having a &#8220;more accomplished&#8221; wife and being &#8220;better looking.&#8221; He ranted, “What is it about President Obama that really gets under your skin? Is it because he’s smarter than you? Better educated? Made it on his own — didn’t need daddy’s help? Wife is more accomplished? Better looking?&#8221;

Republicans Hold Virtual 2020 National Convention

CNN Political Analyst On Melania’s Speech: ‘Makes Me Want To Vomit’

On Tuesday night, First Lady Melania Trump spoke at the Republican National Convention (RNC), offering a unifying, gracious, and inspiring speech to the American people.
During the outdoor speech, Mrs. Trump repeatedly praised our nation, thanked the American people for stepping up during the pandemic and putting country first, and challenged us to recognize differing perspectives to find unity.
The speech ran in stark contrast with former First Lady Michelle Obama&#8217;s speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), last week, where Mrs. Obama begged the American people to vote in November as she outlined her disdain for Republicans and President Trump, whom she <a href="https://apnews.com/105dedebd16d3fd28e9c23e85ed479bc">described</a> as &#8220;in over his head.&#8221;
“If you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me they can; and they will, if we don’t make a change in this election,” Obama <a href="https://apnews.com/105dedebd16d3fd28e9c23e85ed479bc">warned</a> voters.
Trump, who seldom discusses her own personal journey with the public, recalled her goal of achieving the American Dream and becoming a U.S. citizen after she thanked the American people for taking a chance on her husband, a businessman who never worked in politics.
Trump said she always dreamed of living in the land of the free and working in the fashion world, but she wanted more than that. She wanted to become a citizen. And after arriving here at age 26, it took Mrs. Trump years to make that dream a reality.
&#8220;It was one of the proudest moments of my life,&#8221; she said, noting that it&#8217;s a &#8220;privilege&#8221; to live here.
FLOTUS then thanked her parents. &#8220;It is because of you that I am standing here today,&#8221; she said.
Mrs. Trump also thanked the American people for stepping up during the pandemic, whereas Mrs. Obama went out of her way to blame President Trump for allegedly bungling policy, though he was praised by top Democrats for his leadership.
POTUS &#8220;will not stop fighting until there is effective treatment or a vaccine,&#8221; Mrs. Trump asserted, thanking healthcare professionals, frontline workers, and teachers for stepping up &#8220;despite the risk to yourself and your own families.&#8221;
&#8220;You put your country first,&#8221; the First Lady praised, noting of the businesses and volunteers that stepped in to help, too. &#8220;It has been inspiring to see what the people of our great nation will do for each other.&#8221;
The First Lady also urged U.S. citizens to look at things from all perspectives, to practice civility, and live up to our American ideals. Violence and looting must stop, she added, and we must never make assumptions based on someone&#8217;s skin color.
&#8220;We are one nation under God, and we need to cherish one another,&#8221; Mrs. Trump closed.
Earlier in the day, the First Lady’s chief of staff Stephanie Grisham <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/melania-trump-pompeo-convention-spotlight-tuesday">told</a> Fox News that Mrs. Trump’s speech &#8220;is going to be very positive and uplifting, which is her signature,&#8221; the network reported.
“She wants to look forward,&#8221; Grisham said during an appearance on &#8220;The Daily Briefing&#8221; with host Dana Perino. &#8220;She wants to talk about what she as First Lady plans to do when the president wins another 4 years. But she also wants to lay out for the American people why it’s so important the president becomes re-elected. There will be some personal anecdotes and I think people will be surprised at how great the speech is.”
Mrs. Trump is known for her &#8220;BE BEST&#8221; initiative, which includes work concerning the devastating opioid epidemic.
&#8220;The mission of BE BEST is to focus on some of the major issues facing children today, with the goal of encouraging children to BE BEST in their individual paths, while also teaching them the importance of social, emotional, and physical health. BE BEST will concentrate on three main pillars: well-being, online safety, and opioid abuse,&#8221; the White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/bebest/">outlines</a>. &#8220;BE BEST will champion the many successful well-being programs that provide children with the tools and skills required for emotional, social, and physical health. The campaign will also promote established organizations, programs, and people who are helping children overcome some of the issues they face growing up in the modern world.&#8221;

First Lady Melania Trump Speaks During Republican National Convention

Gracious Melania Offers Unifying RNC Speech In Contrast With Michelle Obama’s Dark DNC Speech

First lady Melania Trump has revamped the White House Rose Garden.
&#8220;Excited to honor history &amp; celebrate the future in our beautiful @WhiteHouse Rose Garden this evening. Thank you to all who helped renew this iconic &amp; truly gorgeous space,&#8221; she wrote Saturday on Twitter.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The First Lady said she wanted to return the garden to its roots, honoring the original design by Bunny Mellon, made at the request of President John F. Kennedy in 1962. &#8220;The garden was designed with the presidency in mind, according to the First Lady&#8217;s office. The removal of a holly ledge allows a better view of the garden on the president&#8217;s walk along the colonnade from the residence to the Oval Office on his daily commute,&#8221; the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8654819/Social-media-users-blast-design-newly-renovated-White-House-Rose-Garden-cemetery.html">reported</a>.
But critics on Twitter immediately bashed the overhaul.
&#8220;Sad. It was lovely before. 30 million Americans dont have enough food. and you do this &#8211; at our expense,&#8221; actress Mia Farrow wrote.

Michael Beschloss, an NBC contributor and presidential historian, posted two pictures side by side to show a comparison (but one showed tulips, which usually bloom in early spring, while the other was taken in late August).

White House Holds Media Preview Of Renewed Rose Garden

‘Cold, Colorless, Boring’: Critics Blast Melania’s Rose Garden Re-Do

White House

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the leading voice on the White House Coronavirus Task Force and the nation&#8217;s top infectious disease expert, earned a spread in InStyle, the magazine teased Wednesday.
First lady Melania Trump, a former fashion model, has yet to be featured for InStyle since becoming first lady, in stark contrast to her predecessor former first lady Michelle Obama, and, apparently, even Dr. Fauci.
Wearing shades and sitting poolside, the famed &#8220;Good Doctor&#8221; drops the modesty and boasts about how &#8220;effective&#8221; he is during the lengthy interview, which he shared with his wife Dr. Christine Grady.

Fauci not only landed a lengthy interview and a shoot but was the magazine&#8217;s special digital cover.
&#8220;A special digital cover: Dr. Anthony Fauci and his wife, bioethicist Dr. Christine Grady spoke to [Norah O&#8217;Donnell] about the battle against COVID-19, Fauci&#8217;s contentious relationship with the White House and how he&#8217;s staying sane (pro-tip: he power walks),&#8221; the magazine teased.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
During the interview, Fauci described his relationship with President Donald Trump as “complicated.”
“Because in some respects I have a very good relationship with him,” he said, according to <a href="https://www.today.com/popculture/dr-fauci-ditches-mask-magazine-photoshoot-t186965">Today</a>. “During the times that I was seeing him a fair amount, it was quite a collegial relationship. And in many respects, it probably still is, but I don’t see him very much anymore.”
“Sometimes you say things that are not widely accepted in the White House, and that’s just a fact of life,&#8221; Fauci added.
As noted by senior legal advisor for Team Trump Jenna Ellis, Mrs. Trump has yet to be a feature for the magazine, though <a href="https://www.instyle.com/celebrity/melania-trump">InStyle</a> has published literally dozens of pieces critical of Melania.

Last year, Vogue editor <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6916579/Shes-Melania-Trump-hits-Vogue-editor-Anna-Wintour.html">Anna Wintour</a> suggested she&#8217;d never feature Mrs. Trump on her cover, though former first lady Obama graced the cover three times.
&#8220;To be on the cover of Vogue doesn&#8217;t define Mrs. Trump, she&#8217;s been there, done that long before she was First Lady,&#8221; the White House sharply responded to the shade.
In the past, President Trump, seemingly irritated by the media&#8217;s treatment of his wife, <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/2019/06/14/trump-likens-melania-jackie-o-but-twitter-objects/1454847001/">suggested</a> that Melania would be fawned over like former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, or &#8220;Jackie O.,&#8221; if she were a Democrat.
Melania&#8217;s treatment was raised in 2018 by award-winning actor and conservative politico James Woods. &#8220;If the Trumps were Democrats, Melania would be on every cover of every chic women&#8217;s magazine in the world every month,&#8221; he said via Twitter, captioning a stunning photo of Melania in a strapless blue dress.
As noted by <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/melania-trump-magazine-covers-model-878777">Newsweek</a>, Mrs. Obama graced a total of 12 magazine covers during her husband&#8217;s time in office. &#8220;In addition to appearing on the cover of famous fashion mag Vogue three times, she&#8217;s also advocated national interest issues in two Essence magazine features, twice for Time magazine and Glamour magazine, and once for Redbook, Instyle and Radar,&#8221; the outlet noted.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, First Lady Melania Trump

Dr. Fauci Lands InStyle Magazine Shoot Before First Lady Melania Trump

Anthony Fauci

Vogue Magazine

A wooden sculpture of first lady <a href="https://thehill.com/people/melania-trump">Melania Trump</a> that was carved with a chain saw into a living linden tree about five miles from her hometown of Sevnica, Slovenia was <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/europe/506485-statue-of-melania-trump-set-on-fire-in-slovenia">set on fire</a> on July 4.
Brad Downey, the American conceptual artist who commissioned blue-collar pipe layer and amateur woodworker Ales Zupevc to create the sculpture, informed <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-slovenia-melania-trump-sculpture/u-s-first-lady-melania-trump-statue-set-on-fire-in-slovenia-idUSKBN24933K">Reuters</a> the wooden sculpture had been set afire, adding, “I want to know why they did it.” He also allegedly filed a police report but strangely said he would like to interview the perpetrators for a film he is making.
“Rising nine feet from the trunk, the statue is blocky, waving with a hand more akin to a paw. Its eyes are bulging ovals beneath a near unibrow, its nose a pudgy blob. Save for its powder-blue Inauguration Day garb, it looks little like the first lady,” <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/07/08/she-might-like-it-slovenian-pipe-layer-who-carved-melanias-statue-isnt-laughing-with-critics/">The Washington Post</a> reported in July 2019.
Because Downey, who was born in Kentucky but now lives in Berlin, Germany, has a reputation for pranks, people were unsure if the sculpture was in admiration or mockery for the First Lady.  Berlin-based curator Lukas Feireiss told the Post, “I think that’s the beauty of it, that nobody can answer the question: Is it serious? Is it a joke? That ambiguity is the strength of his work, the fact that we can’t really figure it out. That’s always, to me at least, that’s always the power of it.”
The Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana’s Match Gallery, when announcing Downey’s full exhibit of which the Trump sculpture is a part, <a href="https://mgml.si/en/match-gallery/exhibitions/425/brad-downey-this-echo/">wrote:</a>
<blockquote>Brad Downey, the author of these works, delved into research of USA&#8217;s mysterious first lady as an American citizen. He was interested in her origin and the villages around Sevnica, where she grew up. The documentary Melania is a portrait of the craftsman and woodworker Max who was commissioned by Brad Downey in autumn 2018 to produce a wooden statue of the first lady to the best of his abilities.
Throughout the actual process of producing the statue, he reflects on the destiny of a local peer, who is now living the ultimate American dream. The statue, made in a naïve folk manner, is publicized as the first public statue of Melania, and as such triggered a strong backlash of sensationalism in media with next to no background research, and criticism of the homemade, crafty nature of statue.</blockquote>
One local resident told ABC News, &#8220;She is our beauty, no matter what, even here. She looks like she just walked out of a beautiful naive painting.&#8221;
Feireiss concluded, “The roots of the tree are still in the ground. There’s something rough about it. But there’s something very rough about the first lady too. To me it is a parody, but at the same time, it’s not. This guy put a lot of work into this.”

Sculpture Of Melania Trump Near Her Home Town Is Burned On July 4

4th of July

After a host for The Food Network mocked her and her son Barron on Father’s Day, First Lady Melania Trump blasted him via her spokesperson, stating, “Sadly we continue to see inappropriate and insensitive comments about the President’s son. As with every other administration, a minor child should be off-limits and allowed to grow up with no judgment or hate from strangers and the media,” as <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/06/22/stephanie-grisham-melania-trump-network-host-barron-trump-inappropriate-fathers-day/">The Daily Caller</a> reported.
John Henson, (no relation to Jim Henson of Muppets fame) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/food-network-host-celebrates-fathers-day-by-taking-shot-at-melania-barron-trump">tweeted</a> the snarky comment on Sunday, “I hope Barron gets to spend today with whoever his dad is.”
The <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.com/profiles/talent/john-henson/john-henson-bio">Food Network’s bio</a> of Henson notes that he has two children of his own:
<blockquote>Over the course of his career, he has also co-hosted and produced ABC’s Wipeout, Spike TV’s The John Henson Project, and TV Guide Network’s Watch This. He also starred in FX’s Anger Management and NBC’s My Name is Earl, and hosted truTV’s Funniest Commercials specials as well as guest hosted of Who Wants to be a Millionaire… John resides in Los Angeles with his wife, son and daughter.</blockquote>
Henson even had his <a href="https://abcwipeout.fandom.com/wiki/John_Henson">own production company</a>. It was named Skunk Boy, Inc.
Melania has had to deal with comments about her son Barron that were far more severe than Henson’s; in June 2018, actor Peter Fonda tweeted, ““WE SHOULD RIP BARRON TRUMP FROM HIS MOTHER’S ARMS AND PUT HIM IN A CAGE WITH PEDOPHILES AND SEE IF MOTHER WILL WILL STAND UP AGAINST THE GIANT ASSHOLE SHE IS MARRIED TO,” as <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2018/06/20/melania-calls-secret-service-after-actor-peter-fonda-threatens-to-kidnap-barron-trump/?utm_campaign=atdailycaller&amp;utm_source=Twitter&amp;utm_medium=Social">The Daily Caller</a> reported.
Melania’s office notified the Secret Service. Melania’s spokesperson Stephanie Grisham tweeted, “The tweet is sick and irresponsible and USSS has been notified.”
In December 2019, the 15th annual Black List survey was announced, in which 250 film executives chose up to 10 of their favorite unproduced scripts, and one of the screenplays chosen told the fictional tale of how Barron Trump, “fearing the devastating impact that his father’s presidency would have on his personal life, his country and the world at large. … sets out to sabotage his father’s 2016 campaign,” as <a href="https://variety.com/2019/film/news/barron-trump-sabotaging-dad-campaign-screenplay-1203440203/">Variety</a> reported.
The Left’s consistent mocking of Barron Trump has included such viciousness as seemingly mocking him when he was frightened after seeing the infamous photo of supposed comedienne Kathy Griffin holding up his father’s severed head. <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/barron-trump-thought-kathy-griffin-actually-beheaded-his-father-report">The Washington Examiner</a> reported on May 31, 2017, “Barron was at the family’s New York City penthouse with first lady Melania Trump when the photo appeared on TV. Barron saw the image and panicked. ‘Mommy, mommy!’ he reportedly screamed.”
Jeopardy champion and New York Times best-selling author Ken Jennings wrote on Twitter, “Barron Trump saw a very long necktie on a heap of expired deli meat in a dumpster. He thought it was his dad &amp; his little heart is breaking.”

Melania Responds To Food Network Host Mocking Her And Barron On Father’s Day

Barron Trump

In an attempt at humor, a comedian who has had the prestigious job of hosting the &#8220;Halloween Baking Championship&#8221; on the Food Network decided to celebrate Father’s Day by taking a shot at President Trump, with the collateral damage falling on Trump’s 14-year-old son Barron and Trump’s wife Melania.
John Henson, (no relation to Jim Henson of Muppets fame) tweeted this snarky comment on Sunday, implying God-knows-what about the First lady and her son: “I hope Barron gets to spend today with whoever his dad is.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.com/profiles/talent/john-henson/john-henson-bio">Food Network’s bio</a> of Henson notes that he has two children of his own:
<blockquote>With over 20 years of acting, writing, hosting and producing credits, John Henson is a veteran of the television industry. Henson began his professional career as a stand-up comedian, touring the country before gaining audience attention and critical acclaim as host, writer and co-executive producer of E! Entertainment’s Talk Soup. In this role, John won a cult following, and three Emmy Award nominations.
Over the course of his career, he has also co-hosted and produced ABC’s Wipeout, Spike TV’s The John Henson Project, and TV Guide Network’s Watch This. He also starred in FX’s Anger Management and NBC’s My Name is Earl, and hosted truTV’s Funniest Commercials specials as well as guest hosted of Who Wants to be a Millionaire… John resides in Los Angeles with his wife, son and daughter.</blockquote>
Henson obviously got the performing bug early, according to <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0378217/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm">IMDB</a>: “John Henson started acting when he was eight years old and tried everything he could&#8211;even singing and dancing. It was at Boston University that he began performing improvisational comedy. He loved the adrenaline rush it gave him so he quit school at the age of 20 to do stand-up full time.”
Henson even had his <a href="https://abcwipeout.fandom.com/wiki/John_Henson">own production company</a>. It was named Skunk Boy, Inc.
Henson may have gotten the inspiration for his attempt at humor by watching MSNBC: last September there was this exchange between host Joe Scarborough and his wife Mika Brzezinski, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/morning-jo-new-low-mika-suggests-barron-isnt-amanda-prestigiacomo">The Daily Wire</a> reported:
<blockquote>Scarborough: &#8220;We’re going to have Donald Trump, yesterday, I think it was yesterday, in the White House, talking about Melania’s son.”
Brzezinski: &#8220;Maybe it is Melania&#8217;s son.”
Scarborough: &#8220;It is Melania’s son?&#8221;
Brzezinski: &#8220;Well, that&#8217;s what he was saying. He was saying it was just her son,&#8221; referring to President Trump discussing a ban on flavored vaping products. &#8220;It’s not — that&#8217;s just what he said.&#8221;
Scarborough: &#8220;Let me get back to Biden, because I don’t know exactly what you&#8217;re saying.&#8221;
Brzezinski: &#8220;It seems that he didn&#8217;t remember Barron’s name or —”
Scarborough: &#8220;Just stop, just stop.”</blockquote>
Trump had <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCwi6nDAiRk">told</a> reporters, “Vaping has become a very big business as I understand it, like a giant business in a very short period of time. But we can’t allow people to get sick, and we can’t have our youth be so affected. And I’m hearing it, and that’s how the First Lady got involved. She’s got a son, together, that is a beautiful young man and she feels very, very strongly about it.”

Late Night with Seth Meyers &#8211; Season 1

Food Network Host Celebrates Father’s Day By Taking Shot At Melania, Barron Trump

father's Day

John Henson

On Sunday night, left-wing CNN host Don Lemon accused President Donald Trump of being negatively obsessed with former President Barack Obama for a host of reasons, including Obama having a &#8220;more accomplished&#8221; wife and being &#8220;better looking.&#8221;
“What is it about President Obama that really gets under your skin?&#8221; Lemon started in on the rant on CNN airwaves. &#8220;Is it because he’s smarter than you? Better educated? Made it on his own — didn’t need daddy’s help?&#8221;
&#8220;Wife is more accomplished?&#8221; Lemon continued, pitting former First Lady Michelle Obama and current First Lady Melania Trump against one another. &#8220;Better looking?&#8221;
&#8220;I don’t know, what is it, what is it about him?&#8221; Lemon said. &#8220;That he’s a black man that’s accomplished, became president? That he punked you on the whole birth certificate thing? What is it about him? Just wondering.”
Lemon&#8217;s rant garnered high praise on the Left; the host&#8217;s name <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%22Don%20Lemon%22&amp;src=trend_click">trended</a> on social media for hours Monday morning.
However, some took issue with Lemon&#8217;s swipe against Mrs. Trump.
&#8220;Don Lemon here says maybe Trump hates Obama because Michelle is more accomplished than Melania,&#8221; wrote BlazeTV&#8217;s Allie Beth Stuckey. &#8220;I can’t even imagine the outcry if the same had been said about Laura Bush. Cries of racism galore!&#8221;
&#8220;I guess it’s cool to hate on immigrants when they’re named Trump,&#8221; she added.

Lemon was apparently reacting to President Trump re-tweeting a post concerning Obama and the Russian collusion hoax. &#8220;New Document Releases Seem to Point to Obama Running the Scam Investigation,&#8221; the piece is titled.
&#8220;The operation was originally started to prevent Donald Trump from being president,&#8221; the piece says. &#8220;And after he won it became an operation trying to remove him from office. This is the biggest scandal in this country’s long history.&#8221;
Days before Lemon&#8217;s rant, however, President Trump called the CNN host the &#8220;dumbest man on television.&#8221;
&#8220;I must admit that Lyin’ Brian Williams is, while dumber than hell, quite a bit smarter than Fake News [CNN] &#8216;anchorman&#8217; Don Lemon, the &#8216;dumbest man on television.'&#8221; the president posted Thursday. &#8220;Then you have Psycho Joe &#8216;What Ever Happened To Your Girlfriend?&#8217; Scarborough, another of the low I.Q. individuals!&#8221;

On Wednesday, prominent anti-Trump pundit and frequent CNN guest Rick Wilson posted a tweet directed at First Lady Melania Trump with the hashtag &#8220;Be Infected,&#8221; a riff on Mrs. Trump&#8217;s anti-bullying &#8220;Be Best&#8221; campaign.
Reacting to a CNN report on Mrs. Trump being set to appear in coronavirus-related public service announcements, Wilson wrote, &#8220;#BeInfected.&#8221;

Wilson&#8217;s apparent wish to have Mrs. Trump infected with the China-originated virus received quick backlash online, from folks across the political spectrum.

Novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, has infected <a href="https://www.bing.com/covid?ref=share">229,472</a> people globally as of Thursday afternoon, and killed 9,344. In the United States, there are 10,781 confirmed cases, with that number expected to rise dramatically in coming days as the testing becomes more readily available. There have been 160 fatalities from the virus in the U.S. to date.
As highlighted by <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/17/coronavirus-layoffs-america-unemployment-134819">Politico</a> on Tuesday, precautions surrounding the virus have created massive economic strain, overwhelming unemployment offices throughout the nation.
&#8220;Employers are slashing jobs at a furious pace across the nation due to mass shutdowns over the coronavirus, slamming state unemployment offices with a crush of filers facing sudden crises,&#8221; the report said. &#8220;Long before official government data is expected to reveal the depths of the economic shock inflicted by the coronavirus, reports from state officials and businesses around the country indicate the gathering of a massive wave of unemployment on a scale unseen since the Great Recession.&#8221;

On Tuesday night,  as the nation was reeling from the effects of the coronavirus, model and Democratic activist Chrissy Teigen took time to issue a profanity-laced thread attacking First Lady Melania Trump.
Prior to her fusillade, Teigen admitted, “f***  im so drunk from the streams and I have a Skype therapy session in 20 mins.”

Teigen targeting the Trump family with profanity is not new; last September she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/p-b-chrissy-teigen-fires-expletive-laced-tweets-amanda-prestigiacomo">responded to criticism</a> from President Donald Trump with a profanity-laced thread. Trump had slammed Teigen and her husband singer/songwriter John Legend for not giving the president credit for vital criminal justice reforms.
Trump stated, &#8220;I SIGNED IT INTO LAW, no one else did, &amp; Republicans deserve much credit. But now that it is passed, people that had virtually nothing to do with it are taking the praise. Guys like boring musician [John Legend], and his filthy mouthed wife, are talking now about how great it is &#8211; but I didn’t see them around when we needed help getting it passed.&#8221;
Teigen responded, &#8220;lol what a p**** a** b****. tagged everyone but me. an honor, mister president.&#8221; Teigen then posted a tweet to her three-year-old daughter Luna again ripping the &#8220;p**** a** b**** president,” writing, &#8220;Luna, remember the night before your first day of school? When mommy was making your sign and the p**** a** b**** president had his 9th meltdown of the day.”
Responding to Andy Lassner, the executive producer of &#8220;The Ellen Show,&#8221; who had stated, &#8220;I&#8217;m very, very serious. Very serious. Do NOT allow #PresidentP****A**B****to trend. I&#8217;m begging you. Begging. #PresidentP****A**B****,” Teigen responded: &#8220;No guys no please do not make this trend, for it is my fight with #PresidentP****A**B****, not yours!!!!!!&#8221;

President Donald Trump

Melania Trump Fires Back At Critics Of Tennis Court Tweet

Hillary Clinton

Appearing on a show titled “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” to promote the new Hulu documentary about her life, Hillary Clinton took a swipe at First Lady Melania Trump, saying of her Melania&#8217;s &#8216;Be Best&#8217; anti-bullying campaign, “&#8217;I think she should look closer to home.”
Clinton also impressed some her fans by joining Cohen for a shotski; <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8081551/Hillary-Clinton-does-shotski-Andy-Cohen-Watch-Happens-Live.html">The Daily Mail</a> reported,  “Clinton downed her shot with ease, only slightly puckering at the taste  before cracking a big smile as the studio audience went wild. “
Apparently some of Clinton’s fans took that to be a significant event, with comments like these: “Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton just did a shotski on #WWHL. I&#8217;m living,” “Historic,” and “Tell me it wasn&#8217;t a dream. Love you @hillaryclinton.”
Downing a shot for Clinton shouldn’t have taken her fans by surprise; the <a href="https://azdailysun.com/news/opinon/columnists/hillary-clinton-belting-down-a-boilermaker-a-bad-example/article_8d3e0eb2-dae9-5fcb-a9fb-d38b324685bf.html">Arizona Daily Sun</a> ran a guest editorial in 2008 that noted:
<blockquote>As part of Hillary Clinton&#8217;s recent campaign tactics she went into an Indiana bar where she was photographed on April 12th belting down a shot of whiskey, followed by swigging a mug of beer, commonly referred to as a &#8220;boilermaker.&#8221; Now this is setting a great example for America and particularly young teens at a time when binge drinking has become a national problem.</blockquote>
<a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/addiction-in-society/200804/hillary-enters-rehab">Psychology Today</a> also reported, “Hillary Clinton created a firestorm when she downed a shot and followed it with a beer chaser (called a ‘boilermaker’ in local parlance) while ‘campaigning’ in a bar in Indiana. Reaction reverberated across the country.”
CBS News even provided a video of Hillary drinking:
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zWzI7gC_WC8" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
As far as Hillary’s swipe at Melania about “looking closer at home,” that has implications of its own for the woman who seemingly ignored her husband’s peccadilloes for years. In 1992, immediately following the Super Bowl, speaking on CBS’ 60 Minutes, Clinton defended her husband, who had already been accused by Gennifer Flowers of using her as a mistress for years.
Clinton <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/hillarys-first-joint-interview-next-to-bill-in-92/">stated</a>, “You know, I’m not sitting here, some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette. I’m sitting here because I love him, and I respect him, and I honor what he’s been through and what we’ve been through together. And you know, if that’s not enough for people, then heck—don’t vote for him.”
Hillary’s feelings toward Melania might have been exacerbated at President Trump’s inauguration, when it was reported he was checking out either Trump’s wife or daughter, prompting a dirty look from Hillary. <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2669006/hillary-clinton-catches-husband-bill-checking-out-melania-trump-during-presidential-inauguration-ceremony/">The Sun</a> reported, “ALL eyes were on Donald Trump as he was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, but it seems Bill Clinton was looking elsewhere at the Washington ceremony. However, the husband of Democrat candidate candidate Hillary definitely appeared to have his attention grabbed by something, and it wasn&#8217;t the billionaire but his wife Melania. A clip emerged online of Bill gazing in the direction of the First Lady and Hillary giving him an intense stare as he got caught out.”

Hillary Takes Swipe At Melania: ‘She Should Look Closer To Home’

Cancel culture was not strong enough to prevent First Lady Melania Trump from receiving a &#8220;Woman of Distinction&#8221; award from Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBA), where student protests failed to keep her from the honor.
Speaking at the university&#8217;s annual Women of Distinction luncheon, the first lady said she was honored to receive the award, which recognizes women “who cherish community and family and want to preserve these ideals for others,&#8221; according to <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/483621-melania-trump-receives-universitys-woman-of-distinction-award-amid">The Hill</a>.
“As the First Lady of the United States, it is a great honor to serve the people of this incredible country,” said Melania Trump as she plugged her Be Best initiative, which seeks to curtail cyberbullying and opioid abuse among children.
“When we teach our children to cherish our values and care for each other, they are better prepared to carry on Americans’ legacy of compassion, service, and patriotism,” she said.
The Women of Distinction event began in 1991 and Melania Trump is the only first lady thus far to receive the honor. Upon announcing her name, the university said that Melania Trump&#8217;s platform aligns with the shool&#8217;s “emphasis on encouraging the potential of each person.&#8221; Students, however, protested the school&#8217;s decision, arguing that the award typically goes to women charitably giving to the local community. Tyler Whitehead, president of the school’s College Democrats group, said the &#8220;vast majority&#8221; of students and faculty were displeased.
“The vast majority of students and faculty that I have spoken to about the decision were disappointed by what seems to be a politically-motivated move on the university&#8217;s part,” Whitehead said in a statement.
One student, Graysen Boehning, told The Hill that Melania Trump&#8217;s character was not reflective of the community.
&#8220;This award has historically gone to women whose character and impact in Palm Beach has shaped the culture of our home, and I have not been convinced that the first lady&#8217;s character or impact here is worthy of that recognition,&#8221; one student, Graysen Boehning, told The Hill. “While many students were excited that the school was bringing in the First Lady of the United States to speak, others felt that her character was not representative of the community of love for people of all backgrounds and beliefs that PBA houses and fosters.&#8221;
Austin Gergen, the vice president of the school’s College Republicans group, said that the school made a &#8220;donor-oriented&#8221; decision to award Melania Trump over all else.
“I&#8217;ve talked to other students who believe this will tank their chances at graduate school, and I definitely think they&#8217;re overreacting, but I understand their concern. Overall, I think this was most likely a donor-oriented decision rather than a moral one,” he said.
Frequently, university students have protested members of Trump&#8217;s administration or Trump&#8217;s family receiving honors at the school, such as when Mike Pence gave the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/21/us/mike-pence-notre-dame-commencement-address.html">commencement address</a> at Notre Dame or when George Mason University had Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh teach a class in England for the summer. Fortunately, despite heated rhetoric and accusations of homophobia, sexism, racism, etc., the schools did not cave to student demands.

<blockquote>A 6-foot, 6-inch small forward with the ability to swing up front and play point or shooting guard, Bryant entered the NBA straight out of high school. In 1996, he became the youngest player in NBA history.
He won five NBA titles in his time with the Lakers, as well as two Olympic gold medals playing for the United States. Now fourth on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, with 33,643 points, Bryant won two NBA Finals MVP awards and one NBA regular-season MVP nod in 2008.
A native of Philadelphia, Bryant was selected No. 13 overall in 1996 by the Charlotte Hornets before being traded to the Lakers. He wore both No. 8 and 24 with the Lakers, both of which were retired by the franchise.</blockquote>

Melania Trump, Kanye West, Shaq, Others Respond To Kobe Bryant’s Death

Kobe Bryant

Americans have ranked former President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump equally in an annual “most admired man in the world” poll, according to a survey conducted by <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/273125/obama-trump-tie-admired-man-2019.aspx">Gallup</a> earlier this month. 
The survey, which asked Americans “What man that you have heard or read about, living today in any part of the world, do you admire most,” showed that respondents named both Obama and Trump as the most admired man 18% of the time. Respondents also had a similar answer for the most admired woman, with 10% naming former First Lady Michelle Obama and 5% naming First Lady Melania Trump. 
“Trump&#8217;s popularity grew enough this year to allow him to tie Barack Obama as the most admired man, but not to end Obama&#8217;s streak of 12 first-place finishes,” reads the report. “The results reflect the significant party divide in the U.S., with Republicans overwhelmingly naming Trump and Democrats Obama, and few other men garnering significant mention.”
“Meanwhile, Obama&#8217;s wife Michelle has been named as the most admired woman the past two years after 25 years that saw Hillary Clinton finish first 22 times,” the report continues. “In fact, Obama has had stronger finishes in the past two years than during her eight years as first lady, when no more than 8% of Americans named her.”
The report also features a new, but perhaps unsurprising arrival on the list: Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg. Although the activist is not even old enough to be surveyed, she tied with media mogul Oprah Winfrey and former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for the most influential woman in the world, with each person receiving 3% support from respondents. Thunberg also out-ranked other popular choices, including Queen Elizabeth II, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who each received 2% support. 
Thunberg, who made headlines after traveling to the U.S. via boat to speak at the U.N. about climate, has become an odd fixation for left-wing pundits and voters alike. In fact, according to The Hill, people on the online dating website OKCupid have started mentioning Thunberg as a way to find and weed out potential partners. 
“One of the issues we’re hearing people care about is climate change,” Melissa Hobley, the chief marketing officer for OKCupid, told <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/476213-okcupid-2019-was-the-year-greta-thunberg-helped-people-get">The Hill</a>. “They’re talking about Greta on their profiles. &#8230; I think people feel that supporting her or not shows how you feel about the issue and its impact.”
Time Magazine also awarded Thunberg its &#8220;Person of the Year&#8221; award, writing in an article that “her moral clarity” serves to inspire “other young people around the world.” President Trump, who was also a contender for the title, issued the following response to the announcement, drawing attention to Thunberg’s propensity to scold others for not doing enough. 
“So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!”

First Lady Melania Trump fired back at critics who claimed the First Family was being hypocritical by defending Barron Trump, 13, from political attacks while President Donald Trump trolled far-left climate extremist Greta Thunberg, 16, on Twitter just several days later.
On December 4, Stanford Law School Professor Pamela Karlan, an impeachment witness for House Democrats, took a shot at Barron during Democrats&#8217; impeachment hearing on the House Judiciary Committee.
Melania <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-melania-responds-to-democrat-impeachment-witness-taking-shot-at-barron">responded</a> on Twitter by writing, “A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics. Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it.”
President Trump retweeted Melania&#8217;s tweet a short time later.
On Wednesday, TIME Magazine announced that it was making Thunberg its 2019 Person of the Year.
President Trump responded on Twitter by <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1205100602025545730">writing</a>: &#8220;So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!&#8221;
Left-wing activists on Twitter and in the media immediately responded to President Trump&#8217;s swipe at Thunberg by attacking Melania for saying that &#8220;a minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics&#8221; and for her BeBest campaign, which aims to combat bullying.
Melania responded in a statement to the criticism by highlighting the difference between her son and Thunberg.
&#8220;BeBest is the First Lady&#8217;s initiative, and she will continue to use it to do all she can to help children. It is no secret that the President and First Lady often communicate differently &#8212; as most married couples do. Their son is not an activist who travels the globe giving speeches. He is a 13-year-old who wants and deserves privacy,&#8221; White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement.
Thunberg is a far-left climate extremist who travels the world warning of apocalyptic doom that is coming unless radical change occurs that she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/greta-snaps-change-everything-climate-crisis-about-colonial-racist-and-patriarchal-systems-of-oppression-fossil-fuel-literally">claims</a> &#8220;colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fueled.&#8221;
President Trump trolled Thunberg after her meltdown at the United Nations earlier this year where she claimed that &#8220;we are in the beginning of a mass extinction.&#8221;
President Trump wrote on Twitter: &#8220;She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!&#8221;

Thunberg&#8217;s speech gained significant attention as many people viewed it as a sign of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/backlash-critics-lambast-melodramatic-greta-ryan-saavedra">child abuse</a>, saying that activists, politicians, and the media were exploiting her for political gain.
&#8220;My message is that we’ll be watching you. This is all wrong, I shouldn’t be up here, I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet, you all come to us young people for hope, how dare you,&#8221; Thunberg <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/greta-snaps-we-are-beginning-mass-extinction-how-ryan-saavedra">exclaimed</a>. &#8220;You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words and yet I’m one of the lucky ones. People are suffering, people are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth. How dare you.&#8221;
&#8220;There will not be any solutions or plans presented in line with these figures here today because these numbers are too uncomfortable and you are still not mature enough to tell it like it is,&#8221; Thunberg said several minutes later. &#8220;You are failing us but the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you and if you choose to fail us I say we will never forgive you. We will not let you get away with this.

After the rather disastrous House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing on Wednesday — which included only one Republican-requested witness allowed by the Democrats and was highlighted by a Democrat witness using the president&#8217;s 13-year-old son&#8217;s name as a punchline — President Trump issued an early morning message to his political opponents in the House Thursday: &#8220;if you are going to impeach me, do it now, fast.&#8221;
&#8220;The Do Nothing Democrats had a historically bad day yesterday in the House,&#8221; Trump wrote in a pair of tweets early Thursday. &#8220;They have no Impeachment case and are demeaning our Country. But nothing matters to them, they have gone crazy. Therefore I say, if you are going to impeach me, do it now, fast, so we can have a fair trial in the Senate, and so that our Country can get back to business.&#8221;
&#8220;We will have Schiff, the Bidens, Pelosi and many more testify, and will reveal, for the first time, how corrupt our system really is,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I was elected to &#8216;Clean the Swamp,&#8217; and that’s what I am doing!&#8221;

Trump has taken the unorthodox approach to the impeachment inquiry of opting not to have his lawyers participate with the House&#8217;s hearings. Instead, Trump&#8217;s team is gearing up for the Republican-controlled Senate&#8217;s hearings and what, as <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/white-house-gears-up-for-aggressive-effort-to-defend-trump-in-the-senate-as-house-moves-toward-impeachment-vote/2019/12/04/e596a606-16b1-11ea-a659-7d69641c6ff7_story.html">The Washington Post</a> reported Wednesday, a plans to offer an &#8220;aggressive&#8221; approach to pushing back against Democrats&#8217; impeachment arguments.

&#8220;The White House signaled Wednesday that it will aggressively defend President Trump in a near-certain Senate impeachment trial in the coming weeks, as legal experts called by House Democrats testified in a contentious hearing that Trump’s Ukraine dealings constitute an impeachable offense,&#8221; the Post reports.
</div>
<div>
&#8220;Eric Ueland, the White House director of legislative affairs, told reporters that Trump &#8216;wants his case made fully in the Senate,&#8217; previewing a strategy that would include live witnesses on the floor, rather than videotaped depositions that were entered into evidence during President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial in 1999,&#8221; the Post explains.

<div class="remainder-content">

<div>
&#8220;In this instance, we believe very strongly — given the fatally flawed process in the House — that if they were to elect against our better advice [and] send over impeachment to the Senate, that we need witnesses as part of our trial and a full defense of the president on the facts,&#8221; said Ueland.
The rationale for the Trump camp&#8217;s decision to shun the House&#8217;s impeachment hearings was reiterated during the hearing Wednesday, Republicans repeatedly underscoring the lack of a &#8220;fair&#8221; process under the Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler-led hearings, particularly the inability of Republicans to call their own witnesses. In laying out the rules for the inquiry, Schiff imposed the requirement for Democrats to approve any witnesses the Republicans wanted to call. The result, as demonstrated Wednesday, has been an almost entirely Democratic witness list.
As for the &#8220;historically bad&#8221; hearing Wednesday, the most viral moment, and the lowest point for Democrats, came during the testimony of Stanford Law School Professor Pamela Karlan, who dropped what appeared to be a pre-scripted joke using Trump&#8217;s 13-year-0ld son&#8217;s name as the punchline.
“So while the president can name his son Barron, he can’t make him a baron,&#8221; Karlan quipped.
</div>
The bad joke resulted in massive blowback, including a rebuke from First Lady Melania Trump. &#8220;A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics,&#8221; said Melania. &#8220;Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it.&#8221;
Amid criticism from both the right and left, Karlan issued a backhanded pseudo-apology later in the day. &#8220;I want to apologize for what I said earlier about the president’s son. It was wrong of me to do that,&#8221; said the Democratic witness. &#8220;I wish the president would apologize, obviously, for the things that he’s done that’s wrong, but I do regret having said that.&#8221;

Trump Has Taunting Message For Democrats After ‘Historically Bad’ Hearing: ‘Do It Now, Fast’

Impeachment

The grinches are once again hating on First Lady Melania Trump for delivering another round of beautiful Christmas decorations.
Over the weekend, Melania Trump unveiled the White House Christmas decorations that were meant to evoke the &#8220;Spirit of America,&#8221; accentuated by a color scheme of icy whites and faded golds.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
“The Spirit of America” is shining in the <a href="https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WhiteHouse</a>! I am delighted to share this beautiful exhibit of patriotism for all to see, and excited for everyone to experience the beauty of the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Christmas?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Christmas</a> season! <a href="https://t.co/qGxxl9qBrd">pic.twitter.com/qGxxl9qBrd</a>
&mdash; Melania Trump (@FLOTUS) <a href="https://twitter.com/FLOTUS/status/1201351943790174208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 2, 2019</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In a manner as barefaced as the snow is white, the Melania haters are hating like they never hated before this Christmas. Over at <a href="https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2019/12/8945279/melania-trump-white-house-christmas-decorations-return">Refinery 29</a>, Leah Carroll complained that this year&#8217;s decorations had a bland nicety to them, leaving her pining for &#8220;last year&#8217;s blood-icicle trees and 2017&#8217;s spooky ice queen aesthetic.&#8221;
&#8220;My hopes were very, very high for something equally ghastly,&#8221; lamented Carroll. &#8220;But a video of the first lady guiding us through the People&#8217;s House reveals a distinctly less dystopian take on the season this time around. Is the War on Christmas real? Because I feel attacked by all this bland niceness!&#8221;
&#8220;Everything is so elegant and tasteful! That garland of red roses on the mantel? Pure class,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;The white-and-gold accents? Opulence. A bit <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_Colby" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Alexis Carrington (opens in a new tab)" data-tracker-added="true">Alexis Carrington</a>, sure — but in the best way. Naturally, I&#8217;m devastated.&#8221;
Carroll then took aim at the East Colonnade, which, for reasons unexplained, always seems to draw the most fiery of condemnations every year.
&#8220;Whoever saw fit to suppress Melania&#8217;s natural inclination to turn tree-trimming into an expression of the bottomless void in her soul had their work cut out for them,&#8221; Carroll wrote. &#8220;It appears that the first lady might have taken design control in the East Colonnade, where silver stars, their points sharpened to a glinting razor&#8217;s edge, float menacingly above lit glass panels. Looks dangerous! I like it!&#8221;
During his opening monologue, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel explored the supposed hidden message buried beneath Melania Trump&#8217;s Christmas decoration: An entrapped woman screaming for help.
&#8220;I get the feeling she&#8217;s trying to tell us something. I just can&#8217;t figure out what it is,&#8221; Kimmel told his audience after he shared a video of Melania Trump&#8217;s rose decorations spelling out the words &#8220;Help Me.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Robin Givhan, fashion critic for The Washington Post, took most issue with Melania Trump&#8217;s coat, as The Daily Wire has already <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cold-dismissive-washington-post-blasts-first-lady-melania-for-her-coat">noted</a>. Givhan argued that it expresses the first lady&#8217;s &#8220;cold, dismissive aloofness.&#8221;
&#8220;The coat looks ridiculous,&#8221; said Givhan. &#8220;But more than a silly fashion folly, the coat is a distraction. It’s a discomforting affectation taken to a ludicrous extreme. In a video that is intended to celebrate the warmth and welcoming spirit of the holiday season, that simple flourish exudes cold, dismissive aloofness.&#8221;
As was the case last year and the year before that, the first lady <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/melania-trump-white-house-christmas_n_5de5da4fe4b00149f734b3c7">was likened</a> by some to a fairy tale witch overseeing her own rendition of a horror-themed Yuletide.
&#8220;This is like a cross between a Lexus December to Remember commercial and a trailer for The Shining,&#8221; said one Twitter user of Melania Trump&#8217;s promotional video. &#8220;There is even a The Shining-like cameo from two random people dressed like either chefs or grand wizards.&#8221;
&#8220;It’s hard to make Christmas decorations look cold &amp; unhappy but they succeeded,&#8221; said actress Kristen Johnston.
&#8220;This remake of The Shining is the scariest one yet,&#8221; said author John Pavlovitch.
&#8220;There is something empty, cold, and creepy about this,&#8221; said another Twitter user.
&#8220;Melania has a real talent for imparting anything she touches with the warmth of ‘The Shining,'&#8221; said another.
Rain or shine, day or night, snowfall or summer&#8217;s day, the hate train just rolls on.
