CNN’s Jake Tapper Shocks Nation By Telling The Truth

Alec Johnson / July 10, 2024

It’s amazing what a bit of reality can do when it hits someone smack in the face.

Like almost every other legacy news network, CNN has long abandoned any standards of objectivity in journalism. Since at least 2016 when Donald Trump was elected president, the network has joined MSNBC and most others to act as nakedly partisan shills for the Democratic Party. No lie—the “Russiagate” hoax, the denial over Hunter Biden’s laptop— was too untruthful to tell so long as it helped keep Bad Orange Man out of office.

But now, in a segment some are calling the “the greatest CNN segment in history,” Joe Biden has been such a trainwreck that even Jake Tapper is excoriating him.

What makes it so remarkable? Well, the fact that Tapper tells the candid truth and does not pretend that he cannot see what the rest of us can see: Joe Biden is a very old man in the grip of senile dementia. We’re so used to the press blatantly lying about what we can all see that it’s disorienting to hear so much truth from cable news.

Tapper starts out this way: “In reality, 72 percent of voters say they believe President Biden is too old; that’s according to CNN’s most recent polling. Voters have been saying this for quite a long time. The reality is that the Democratic elites are mostly late to acknowledge these age inability issues compared to the rest of the public.”

You’re late, too, Tapper, but we suppose better late than never. Of course, it’s nigh-on impossible for Tapper not to face the truth as he co-moderated the debate between Trump and Biden in which Biden presented to the world as a shambling reanimated corpse.

Tapper then quotes Biden directly to underscore how badly Biden’s brain has declined. He reads the following words from the President:
“Fact of the matter is how can you assure you’re going to be out on you know your way to go you know work tomorrow age age wasn’t you know the idea that I’m too old.”

Then Tapper says, “Keep in mind, that soundbite is supposed to be reassuring.”

Let’s see what Twitter/X users had to say.

Many are appropriately skeptical about CNN’s turn-about.

We feel pretty sure this post speaks for most Wokespy readers:

Radio Host Firing Casts Yet More Doubts After Biden Claims He Is “First Black Woman” To Serve As President

Shay Bottomley / July 9, 2024

A Philadelphia radio interview has brought on yet more doubts over President Joe Biden’s ability to govern the nation.

In yet another public gaffe, President Biden told WURD Radio host Andrea Lawful-Sanders that he was “proud” to be “the first black woman to serve with a black president”. The remarks came amid somewhat of a publicity tour for the 81-year-old has he seeks to calm nerves over his mental and physical coherence.

Lawful-Sanders later told CNN that the questions were provided by the White House in advance of the meeting. In effect, Biden knew the questions in advance and could provide pre-written rehearsed responses via telephone – a seemingly simple task which he was still unable to muster.

On Sunday, July 7, Lawful-Sanders was fired by WURD for using “pre-determined questions provided by the White House, which violates our practice of remaining an independent media outlet accountable to our listeners,” according to president and CEO Sara Lomax, who added that the Black-owned radio station “is not a mouthpiece for the Biden or any other Administration”.

Reaction to the development was largely hostile towards the Biden administration.

As one user noted, a bid to improve confidence in the President is still dependent on Biden’s performance.

The remarkable aspect of this saga is that this was not a face-to-face interview. Quite simply, Biden could (and probably did) write the responses prior to the telephone call and recite them verbatim. Yet, even on the most simplest of tasks, he was still below par.

“Interesting Timing” – Vice President Kamala Harris Seeks New Social Media Strategist

Shay Bottomley / July 4, 2024

Do you want to be “the voice” for the second highest office of the land? If so, you’re in luck.

A job advert has been posted online by the Joe Biden for President Campaign which seeks a Social Media Platforms Strategist on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris.

The role includes writing within an “established organizational identity” (whatever that means) across multiple social media platforms, including X, Facebook and Instagram. The successful applicant must write daily content and manage scheduling across social media while also instigating a strategy for projects in the run up to the election.

One of the easier parts of the job is that you’re required to be more coherent than VP Harris.

Furthermore, the job involves executing “innovative social media projects” to assist in growing the VP’s reach, with successful candidates required to meet the needs of stakeholders across the Democratic Party.

Working on campaigns is considered “a bonus,” while applicants must have strong writing skills and an eagle eye for typos. Furthermore, all employees must be “up to date” on their COVID-19 vaccinations and must provide “accurate and truthful” information to the Biden for President campaign.

The compensation for the role ranges from $65,000 to $85,000 a year.

When the job was posted on social media, commenters were quick to ridicule.

Others noted the interesting timing of the job opening. Since a below-par performance in the first presidential debate of 2024, questions have swirled as to whether Biden may drop out of the race, thus opening the door to Vice President Harris. Should the President choose to stand down, he must do so before the Democratic Party Convention in August.

The polling is an absolute disaster for Biden right now – and the Democrats’ own internal polling proves it.

Even worse for them? The polling isn’t much better for any other Democrat against Trump either.

Anti-Trump Influencer Accidentally Makes Case for Trump

Shay Bottomley / July 3, 2024

Donald Trump’s third successive efforts to secure the White House have been noticeably different from his previous campaigns.

2016 saw Trump emerge as a rank outsider to secure the Republican Party nomination and later the presidency. On the contrary, his 2020 campaign was focused solely on his successes as President of the United States with no realistic challenge from party colleagues.

2024, if anything, has been a mixture of both. For sure, he has had to earn the nomination with challenges like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley berating him for what they see as damage inflicted on the GOP. Yet, the former president all-but secured the party nomination comparatively early in the electoral cycle – and didn’t even have to attend a single debate to win them.

While liberals have since moved to fearmongering over Trump’s “Project 2025,” they’re also triggered by his Agenda 47 (both of which list policy proposals the Trump administration would like implemented).

One woke influencer discussed the “terrifying” pledges in a viral video, which include closing the Department for Education and returning educational standards to state-level, criminalizing race-based advantage programs, ban gender-affirming care and prohibit federal money from being used on it. Listen to their concerns below – and you’ll be left scratching your head wondering what exactly anyone should be worried about:

The trouble for the woke is a lot of Americans actually agree with the ideas.

Much like the Biden-Harris HQ account, the far-left are once again promoting Trump’s ideas. As one user put it…

Oh, the Humanity! WaPo Columnist Jen Rubin’s Crackpot History

Alec Johnson / July 3, 2024

Oh, Jennifer.

Jennifer Rubin, the Washington Post columnist, has managed the neat trick that a faction of politicians have. Despite spilling almost all of her ink on how terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad Donald Trump is, she’s still referred to as a “conservative.” Of course, it’s perfectly possible to be a conservative who doesn’t like Donald Trump. But when one appears to make a full-time job out of it, it’s fair to ask which side of the bread the butter is really on.

Rubin really put her foot in it on Twitter/X recently, but let’s start with her branding and presentation.

“Dissenting” seems to be a trend among American women this past decade. They’re dissenting in pussy hats against “patriarchy,” they dissent while beatifying the late Supreme Court justice Ruth Ginsberg, they put on Dutch maid costumes and dissent against abortion laws, as depicted here in a scene from the Texas statehouse this week.

This week, Jennifer is dissenting about the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity by lifting the histrionic line from Justice Sotomayor’s minority opinion.

Again, Rubin presents herself as a conservative for reasons unknown, but she’s plumping for the Biden-Harris ticket.

Ah, “our democracy.” The 2024 mating cry of middle-aged female leftists.

In one blast from the past, she got completely destroyed during an appearance on The O’Reilly Factor when she was pressed for evidence of her arguments by O’Reilly, leading to her flipping through pages of notes only to realize she had nothing of substance.

But this contribution on the Biden age issue takes the cake, where she attempts to make a Nazi analogy (how original) that backfired instantly due to people actually understanding history.

One almost feels bad for her (almost). Rubin is trying to mock those voting for Trump by making an analogy to the 1932 elections in Germany. But she has it backward—Germans voted for Hindenburg, not for Hitler, in 1932. She got “Community-noted” on Twitter—that’s when a number of people correct a misstatement. The correction appears along with the original tweet.

The fun is in the reactions.

You just knew someone would do this.

User KH wonders if Jennifer has had a tipple.

“She’s Insane” – Elon Musk Responds To Rachel Maddow’s Allegations Against Him

Shay Bottomley / July 3, 2024

It’s fair to say that business magnate Elon Musk is a divisive character.

His takeover of Twitter, later renamed X, has polarized opinion on the Tesla CEO – large in part due to his efforts to promote free speech on the platform.

Following a disastrous CNN debate for President Joe Biden, Musk said he was “leaning towards” Republican challenger and former president Donald Trump.

Naturally, devout leftists within the media have taken issue, with MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow launching into a rant on her daily show. A 42-second clip has landed particular attention, with Musk himself even responding.

In a segment (above) captioned “choose your fighter”, Maddow highlighted “extremist beliefs” of the wealthy who were “making a big show out of supporting Donald Trump”. Maddow used headlines portraying a Musk-MAGA alliance which she said evidenced “months of high-profile support” for the Republican candidate.

“[Musk] used to be thought of as a quirky, business billionaire – an eccentric, inventor-type,” Maddow said. “But now he’s basically this guy,” she continued as producers aired a picture of Capitol rioter Jacob Chansley, otherwise known as the “QAnon Shaman.”

Before the clip ends, Maddow also accused the billionaire of supporting Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and accused him of “destroying” Twitter.

Maddow’s allegations against Musk prompted a speedy response from the X CEO.

Many came to Musk’s support with heavy criticism of the MSNBC commentator.

Other commenters noted how Maddow’s skepticism typically ends with pro-Republican causes.

Garbage Far-Left Propaganda Site “MTV News” Disappears

WokeSpy / July 1, 2024

MTV, which is short for Music Television, is known for its revolutionary way of how music enthusiasts receive and perceive music-related media, as the network originally began by airing famous artists’ music videos. MTV was proven to be a success as the years following its release saw the network take different avenues of music media such as music journalism and reality TV, which brought the company to unseen heights. Now it seems pieces of the famous cable channel are ending one by one, as it’s far-left MTV News suddenly closed its website, along with the termination of decades worth of content.

Recently the longstanding MTV News website was abruptly shut down by the company, which ultimately led to the deletion of two decades worth of media content, which could not be found in such good quality elsewhere. Much of the content was related to the music journalism aspect that began on MTV in the mid-1990s. When internet users attempt to visit the MTV News website, they are now directed to MTV’s main website.

The end of MTV News’s website signifies the end of an era of journalism on MTV that originally began in 1996, covering large topics of the time such as the East Coast and West Coast Rap rivalry. Since then, the website has hosted thousands of articles and interviews, with artists of all genres. One of the company’s most popular article columns, “Mixtape Monday”, was monumental to the outlet during the 2000s and 2010s, showcasing detailed journalism on new and upcoming artists and producers in the hip-hop scene.

MTV’s media deletion is not the first occurrence of it in the music world, as MTV’s sister website CMT.com, a country music media company, has also seen archives of its content deleted from the internet. According to Variety, the recent actions are the results of the two music companies’ parent company, Paramount Global, making cutbacks due to recent financial challenges.

Watch The Moment Tucker Carlson Destroys Woke Reporter During Australia Tour

Shay Bottomley / June 27, 2024

Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson destroyed a “stupid” reporter in a six-minute clip which has gone viral.

The former Fox News broadcaster is embarking on the “Australian Freedom Conferences” in a ten-day tour of the country.

On Wednesday, June 26, Carlson was speaking in Canberra where he took questions from some of the country’s high-profile reporters. Towards the end of the event, a female reporter from the Australian Associated Press alleged that Carlson had argued white people were being replaced in their native countries.

“Have I said that whites are being replaced?” he asked. “I don’t think I said that.”

“Well, it’s been mentioned on your show 4,000 times,” the reporter replied.

Carlson disputed and challenged her to cite the alleged remarks, saying that “native-born Americans” were being replaced regardless of ethnicity. The reporter failed to do so, prompting Carlson to launch an argument into how countries were focusing on the priorities of immigrants “above that of their own citizens.”

“If you think that’s racist, that’s your problem,” he continued.

The AAP reporter then tried to link Carlson’s alleged comments to the racially motivated 2022 Buffalo shooting.

“Oh God! Come on!” Carlson replied. “How do they get people this stupid in the media? I guess it doesn’t pay well.”

Despite initially apologizing for using the word “stupid,” Tucker doubled down when the AAP reporter threw in a random question over gun control much to the shock of the audience.

Many held high praises for Carlson after the encounter went viral on X, including the platform’s owner Elon Musk.

Others were critical of the AAP reporter’s professionalism.

Moreover, ahead of the debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, some felt Carlson should moderate it…

… or even run for the presidency himself!

Children’s Television: Unsafe At Any Age

Alec Johnson / June 26, 2024

Things we never dreamed could even be imagined as satire are now part of “normal” in 21^st century Western culture. We are to affirm that we believe men can be women. We are supposed to see the chemical and physical mutilation of children as “care.”

These are the most extreme expressions of our out-of-control narcissistic culture, but how did we get here? Slowly, drip by drip, so slowly that we barely noticed it as each step was taken.

Many of us remember watching Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood when they were new shows in the 70s. The brands became synonymous with the concept of wholesome, child-focused entertainment. And then came woke. Sesame Street introduced its first “non-binary” character (so-called “non-binary” people claim they are neither men nor women) and got glowing coverage for its efforts to confuse children.

Children’s show Blues Clues jumped on the woke train too, introducing the highly sexual ideas of “LGBTQ” to toddlers with a cartoon drag queen urging the kids to go march in parades.

It is no surprise, then, that children’s channel Nickelodeon is no longer safe for under 18s to watch – watch below to see it for yourself.

It’s now normal for a grossly obese man to put on Disney villainess makeup and croon to preschoolers about having “pride” about what “you are on the inside.” It shouldn’t be normal, but it is. And it’s no good saying, “Hey, I don’t think it’s normal!” Enough of society believes that blatant sexualized grooming of children on trusted children’s television is normal that that’s what we have every day.

Thankfully, a number of X/Twitter users don’t think it’s OK.

Paul asks a good question about the children’s network that has long been tainted by scandal.
