Carly Fiorina to Co-Hosts of The View – “say that to my face”

Carly Fiorina is once again attacking someone because that someone spoke about her looks. The last time she jumped on Trump when he said something about her face. Fiorina is now attacking other women… “liberal” women, as she called them because they said something about her smile.

The day after the latest Republican debate, plenty of people in the media had things to say about the debate, the moderators, the network’s political affiliation, etc. And like many in the media, the hosts of The View – a talk show mind you – made some comments that got under the skin of one of the Republican presidential candidates.

Speaking about Carly Fiorina, one of The View’s co-host Michelle Collins, shared her interpretation of Carly’s “smile” moment. “She looked demented,” Collins said. “Her mouth did not downturn one time.” Another co-host chimed in that a “smiling Fiorina” mask would be perfect for Halloween.

Well Fiorina had something to say about the talk show host’s comment. She called the hosts “a set of liberal feminists who believe that if you do not agree with them on their liberal orthodoxy, that you don’t count.”

“Conservative women, from Sarah Palin to Michele Bachmann to Carly Fiorina, are long used to this. It will not stop me. It will not scare me. And maybe the ladies of ‘The View,’ if I come back on again, let’s see if they have the guts to say that to my face.”

Paul Ryan – It’s an “Entitlement” for Other Americans to Spend Time With Their Family – Video

Paul Ryan laid down his demands before accepting the position of Republican House Speaker. One of those demands was to allow him more time with his family. That family time it seems, is paramount to Paul Ryan. But given the same opportunity to allow other Americans to have more time with their family, Paul Ryan and Republicans voted down that bill.

In an interview on Fox News today, Ryan, the new House Speaker – he accepted the job because his demands were met – was asked to explain that apparent hypocrisy, and in his explanation Ryan said that Americans spending more time with their family can only be done if another “federal entitlement” is created, and that was something he was not going to do.

“I don’t think people asked me to be Speaker to so that I can take more money from hardworking taxpayers to create some new federal entitlement. But I think people want to have members of Congress who represent them, that are like them.”

“Don’t you want your member of Congress to be a citizen legislator who lives with you among you, who has your own kinds of concerns, who wants to spend time with his children on Saturdays and Sundays?” I’m going to keep living in Janesville, Wisconsin where I’m from, where I raise my family. I’m going to keep going back and forth to D.C.”

It’s apparently good for Paul Ryan, but making sure that the average American has that same privilege? Paul Ryan and his Republican buddies call that an entitlement.

Pat Robertson – Halloween is a Time “to celebrate Satan” – Video

Pat Robertson, on his television show on The 700 Club, took time to reiterate his well-known feelings about Halloween.

“Well, it used to be called ‘All Saints Eve,’ now we know it as Halloween,” Robertson said. “That’s the day when millions of children and adults will be dressing up as devils, witches, and goblins to celebrate Satan. They don’t realize that’s what they’re doing.”

Father Sends his 3 Year Old Daughter to “Jail” to Discipline Her

The father, proud of his actions regarding his daughter, posted the photos of his 3-year-old on Facebook, explaining that because of his her behavior towards him and the girl’s mother, he sent his daughter to jail.

Juliano Parker from Corpus Christi, Texas, went on his Facebook page and explained;

“My daughter Aubrey’Ella has been fighting with my wife and I, disrespecting us in public, not listening and talking back a lot.

“Spankings don’t work no more. My daughter is used to spankings and nowadays you can’t spank kids how they did back in the day [because] they call that abuse.

“So today I told my daughter since you wanna be a bad girl, let me show you where the bad kids go. I turned my apartment into a jail. I took away her clothes, now she gets to wear my orange shirt.”

The conversion of his apartment into a jail included putting a mattress on the floor for the 3-year-old to sleep on. The little girl was also fed differently, eating meat and potatoes with water while her brother and sister enjoyed pizza and juice. Her punishment also involved cleaning up the front room and doing dishes.

“Giving her a taste of what it’s like to be in jail for not following the law,” Juliano said. And to those who disagreed with his parenting skills towards his 3-year-old, Juliano wrote. “Now ya’ll can say what ya’ll want but I’m breaking this bad behavior before it gets too out of control without spanking her.”

Based on the comments he received there were some who agreed and some that disagreed with his tactics.

“Don’t ever apologize for being a parent and how you choose to parent [because] she is truly blessed to have someone care enough to show her how to behave as a lady should, so keep up the good work,” The Daily News quoted one user wrote.

“Sad,” another commenter wrote. “That is a baby. Nothing cute or funny about this. Nor is it a good idea. Shameful. [Parenting] and training is more than spankings and punishment. People really need to take parenting classes.”

And another, “I doubt social services would find this funny but my God, what else can you do with these kids nowadays.”

Juliano later removed the post from Facebook after many comments, saying that he didn’t expect the post to go viral.

“I really [regret] posting that pic of my daughter on social media like that I admit it was wrong didn’t think it was gonna go viral smh God knows my heart. My daughter is a good girl just been acting out lately and I was just trying to show her with bad behavior comes consequence. Now my daughter all over the internet for being bad kid but in reality she just acting out for attention.

“So I been just showing her love and being extra nice but not letting her walk all over me just let trying to drive out all that bad behavior with love just like MLK say hate can’t drive out hate or in my case anger can’t drive out anger but love can so my advice to all the parents who shared my post love you kids but don’t let them walk all over you just like the OG from my church told me be consist with how you discipline you kids and after a while they know you mean business but just be patient with kids . Just as God gives us Grace.”

Chris Christie Tells Republicans to Stop “Crying” About Debate Moderators – Video

NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 24: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stands during a press conference with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (not pictured) to announce the initial findings from their joint review of security protocols, in response to growing, global terrorism, for New Jersey and New York during a press conference on September 24, 2014 at 7 World Trade Center in New York, NY. Last week, Christie and Cuomo requested a bi-state review of current safety and security protocols in response to the increased global terrorism threat and today, ten days later, they announced their initial findings as well as signed a memorandum of understanding to increase security for New Jersey and New York. (Photo by Bryan Thomas/Getty Images)

The Republican presidential candidates pulled out their whimp card in the CNBC debate, complaining about the moderators, the questions the moderators asked, the length of the debate and on and on and on. But one Republican – although he too complained during the debate – one Republican candidate is now playing the role of the big bad Republican dude.

Chris Christie is now calling out the other Republican candidates, saying if they can’t handle the moderators from CNBC, “without, you know, crying foul and calling for intervention, then you’re not gonna do very well against Vladimir Putin either.”

I usually disagree with everything Chris Christie, but on this I must say, #Truth.

Jeb Bush – “I’m Having a Blast!” – Video

Jeb Bush is totally confused. Just a couple days ago, Jeb was caught on camera sitting in a chair on a stage looking and sounding frustrated, as he explained to a crowd that there are so much cool things he could be doing instead of running for president. And now today, Jeb – after clearly losing in the last GOP debate – wants the world to know he’s having the time of his life!

Yeah, I am, I’m having a blast. I’m getting my views validated and challenged at the same time. It’s a phenomenal way to grow intellectually, spiritually, physically I’m in phenomenal shape for an old 62-year-old guy. In fact, I think we ought to have five hour debates. Not two hour debates.

Petition to Have Don Lemon Fired from CNN Reaches Over 33,000 Signers

The petition was started by Jamell Henderson from Brooklyn NY. In it, Mr. Henderson stated that “Don Lemon has consistently antagonized and defamed the characteristics of African-Americans on the national scale.” Mr. Henderson used multiple examples to make his point, listing Lemon’s coverage of the Trayvon Martin murder, “the holding of the ‘N’ word sign before the national audience to disrespecting the Mayor of Baltimore.”

But it was Lemon’s coverage and comments on the recent events in South Carolina where a teenage school girl was attacked and dragged by a school resource officer, that prompted Mr. Henderson to get this petition started.

Mr. Henderson wrote;

But what concerns me is that Lemon has repeatedly failed to fulfill his responsibility to remain objective and unbiased in his work. As a news anchor, Mr. Lemon’s job is to present the facts to the public, but time and time again, he has presented his opinion as fact—even when that opinion is contradicted by reality and common sense. That’s unacceptable for a journalist.

I’m disappointed that someone I used to look up to now is someone that I have trouble respecting as a journalist. Please join me in calling on CNN to remove Mr. Lemon from his role at the network.

Stephen Colbert Dissects The Republican Debate – Video

“Donald, you saved us from another hour and a half of that debate,” Colbert said after sharing his take on the 3rd  debacle that was the Republican debate.

Colbert thanked Trump for negotiating down the debate time from 3 and a half hrs to 2hrs. In his closing statement, Trump patted himself on the back saying thanks to him and his negotiating skills, the debate was only 2 hours long. Colbert took no other of that and offered Trump some advice for a potential Trump presidency.

“You truly are a great leader, and you have earned my vote — as long as you can negotiate your presidency down from four years to — you know, two hours feels about right.”

Boy George – “I’ve slept with Prince.”

The new judges on The Voice were discussing who they sung with during their career when new judge Boy George, dropped the bomb!

George kicked off with: “I have duetted with some of the greatest soul singers in history including Luther Vandross and Smokey Robinson.”

Paloma upped the stakes, saying: “Well OK, if we’re throwing big soul names out there I’ve performed with Prince.”

But BG fired back: “Forget that, darling, I’ve slept with Prince.”

A source said: “We just couldn’t believe what he had come out with — and the guys in the gallery were beside themselves.”

Fellow judge Will.i.am thought the whole thing was hilarious, high-fiving Boy George.

But the 54-year-old, who replaced axed Tom Jones on the show, soon took it back.

The source told The Sun: “After that Boy George started backtracking saying he hadn’t really slept with Prince and that in reality, he just had his poster on his wall.

“But as far as the crowd were concerned the cat was already out of the bag.”

The fifth series of The Voice starts in January.

More Bold Predictions: This Debate Changed Everything

October 28 is a very special day in my life. It was 43 years ago that I became a man and realized the meaning of that old, old adage, “That’s the first time I stood up in front of people, bored them, and they gave me money afterwards.” Mazel tov indeed.

So it was with a nostalgic eye that I sat down and watched Episode 3 of the Far Right Follies, otherwise known as the GOP presidential debate. It was a rough affair for the moderators and included some captivating moments, such as when Ted Cruz took all of his time to call out the CNBC network and accuse the Democrats of being Communists or when Marco Rubio rhetorically punched Jeb! Bush (a guy with glasses on) or when Chris Christie almost knocked over his podium trying to tell us that Congress has stolen our Social Security.

The result?

Well, that thudding sound you heard later Wednesday night was the sound of four campaigns hitting Loser’s Gulch: Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina and Jeb! That’s right folks; it looks like none of these four will ever be elected president. Now, I will hedge a bit and say that Jeb could bounce back, but I find that rather unlikely. It’s also possible that many of Trump’s supporters could find their way to Christie, but the net effect of that would be the good Guv’nor polling at 3% instead of 1%. Then again, Christie always wanted to be in the 1%, didn’t he?

Trump, Carson and Fiorina are done because they didn’t do enough to rouse their campaigns beyond the protest votes that are the cornerstones of their combined millions. Carson is in the best position to stick around, but his past comments about guns and the Holocaust and Muslims will make him radioactive to the larger Republican, and general population.

As for Jeb!, my view is that his performance on Wednesday now makes it easier for the Republican establishment, which was never crazy about his candidacy, to finally break free of their Bush III concerns. Put more succinctly, the GOP doesn’t need him anymore. They have Marco. And Ted. And even Johnny the K. from oHIo.

Jeb’s answers and his demeanor were underwhelming at best, and he hasn’t really seemed presidential since he entered the race. He might be the smart one, but there’s something to be said for the son who wanted so badly to both please and punish his father that he sold his soul to the reborn and allied himself with Karl Rove. Jeb’s timing is just as bad as Chris Christie. Their electoral opportunities have passed them by and they might be the only ones who didn’t get the text.

The realignment of the GOP field will take a little time to adjust, but by the holidays the lineup should look radically different, if not in numbers, then at least in the polls. I expect the GOP primary electorate to shift themselves to candidates who have some experience in governance even as they call for the actual end of governance itself. Marco Rubio is now the favorite, followed by Ted Cruz.; Trump and Carson will fade. Bush will crash.

As for the national election, this realignment will make Hillary Clinton the favorite until further notice. She will be able to unite the Democratic Party around her by the end of March and can then spend time honing her general election message and raising obscene amounts of cash in the hopes that she gets elected, replaces a conservative justice and gets the Citizens United case reversed. Then she can raise modestly obscene amounts of cash for her next run.

Ain’t democracy great? Amen.

New York Times to Bottom-Feeder Chris Christie – “Go Home!”

The New York Times, the epitome of The Media. Republicans don’t like the media and often refer to media establishments as “lamestream.” So having a top shelve media outlet call for his departure, Chris Christie is sure to send out his fundraising letter, telling his supporters to donate, because the lamestream media is calling for him to “go home.”

The New York Times Editorial Board took the time to pen an article, urging Christie – a bottom feeder in the presidential polls – to go home and take care of the crises in New Jersey!

It’s that time in the ever-long presidential campaign when candidates lacking money and mojo are starting to go back to their plows. Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey should join them.

Mr. Christie has been called a lot of things, but until Wednesday’s debate performance, “barely there” was not among them. In eight minutes of speaking time, Mr. Christie said little of substance. As for his parting pitch that he’s “deadly serious about changing this culture” of government, well, his constituents in New Jersey know better.

This isn’t strictly about Mr. Christie’s fitness for the presidency. His role in New Jersey’s budget crisis, betrayal on affordable housing and the interlocking scandals on his watch, from Bridgegate to “the chairman’s flight,” say a great deal about that.

The point is that New Jersey is in trouble, and the governor is off pursuing a presidential run that’s turned out to be nothing more than a vanity project. Mr. Christie’s numbers are in the basement, and he’s nearly out of campaign cash. This is his moment, all right: to go home and use the rest of his term to clean out the barn, as Speaker John Boehner would say.

Needless to say, Chris Christie responded to the Times call for him to bow out, and he has apparently decided that the troubles in his state are not as important as his selfish goal to have the word ‘president’ attached to his name. In a tweet back to the Times, Christie said, “Can’t read the article because I don’t have a subscription, but I can tell you this – I am not going anywhere.”

Of course!

The View Host on Carly Fiorina’s Smile – “She Looked Demented” – Video

I’ve been looking for adjective to describe Carly Fiorina, to portray the proper image, to paint an exact picture of the Republican presidential candidate. I still can’t come up with one, but on the View today, co-host Michelle Collins came up with a word to describe Fiorina’s smile – “demented!”

Interesting…

“You know what Carly said which really made me laugh? She kicked off her thing saying, “You know, people tell me that I didn’t smile enough during the last debate. She looked demented. Her mouth did not downturn one time.”

“I wish it was a Halloween mask,” co-host Joy Behar chimed in. “I’d love that.”
