Kim Godwin, who has served as the president of ABC News since 2021, revealed on Sunday that she is leaving the network. In a statement issued to staff of ABC News, Godwin announced that she is retiring from broadcast news. “I have decided to retire from broadcast journalism,” Godwin said in her statement, adding that “after considerable reflection” on her decision, she is “certain it’s the right one.”

Comments:

Good riddance! ABC News, especially its radio division, is far more liberal and dishonest than even CNN or MSNBC.

The penny is finally starting to drop among even the strongest Dem constituencies that DEI/CRT/diversity/quotas are a disaster for business efficiency, efficacy and morale. Let's call it the Obama Effect - because that is largely what it is. An 'executive' with a so-called impressive resume or degree becomes a plastic hood ornament (pun intended) with a coating of glittering but cheap gold spray paint to be oohed and aahed at. The new executive has a single concern ie ego. Self-advancement, self-aggrandizement. The Peter Principle is in full effect as these incompetents take a wrecking ball - intentionally or otherwise - to their organizations. Even the most committed ideologues and the most desperate sycophants may find themselves pushed out of the inner circle. Ironically, Godwin was 'hands-off' (read: absentee or apathetic) but cults that operate on the whim of the leader are still cults. On a macro level, we can all agree that Big Three Network News is one of the most visible, expensive and overhyped anachronisms of the 21st century. A laughably short 30 min boiled-down dose of shocking propaganda delivered by self-important po-faced anchors and reporters with plenty of scary words and blood-red graphics on the screen attempting to scare the hell out of their dwindling, aging audience. But their eagerness and willingness to deliver propaganda means 'access' ie working arm-in-arm with government.

Growing up until the age of 10 all we had was ABC, CBS and PBS. We finally could afford cable it was a whole new world of television. ABC came in clearer with the rabbit ears so we liked watching the ABC Evening News with Peter Jennings. Now in the year 2024 ABC isn't even viewed during primetime in my house. Their half hour "news" show with David "Never Look Directly Into The Camera" Muir is nothing but leftist democrat propaganda. Broadcast propagandist Kimmie Godwin may be "stepping down" but she will aways be an activist for the democrat party and someone of her ilk will take over. Disney will see to that.

Israel launches rocket attack on Rafah

ceasefire proposal from Egyptian and Qatari
mediators as a 'ruse'

Israel has launched a rocket attack on Rafah after dismissing Hamas accepting a Gaza ceasefire proposal as a 'ruse'. Hamas issued a statement earlier today saying its supreme leader, Ismail Haniyeh, had delivered the news in a phone call with Qatar's prime minister and Egypt's intelligence minister. But an Israeli official said the proposal that Hamas had accepted was a 'softened' version of an Egyptian proposal, which included 'far-reaching' conclusions that Israel could not accept. 'This would appear to be a ruse intended to make Israel look like the side refusing a deal,' said the Israeli official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Hamas opened fire near the Keren Shalom crossing that had been used to bring in aid to Gaza. The attack was predictably launched from near a civilian shelter in Rafah. Meanwhile, Philippe Lazzarini, the head of UNRWA, whose employees have been shown to be Hamas, again and again, accused Israel of blocking aid. Every UN and international aid body in the region keeps claiming that there’s famine in Gaza. As they’ve been claiming for the past 6 months. Except that the famine is always on the verge of arriving, but never quite does.

The New York prosecutor in the New York City hush money case against Donald Trump was previously hired for 'political consulting' by the Democratic National Committee. The revelations regarding attorney Matthew Colangelo raises concerns over the perceived politicalization of the multiple cases against the former president – and specifically the first case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office. Colangelo, according to a Fox News Digital review of Federal Election Commission records, was paid $12,000 by the DNC on January 31, 2018. It was distributed by DNC Services Corp/Democratic National Committee in two separate payments of $6,000 on the same day.

The CEO of Hims has walked back his support of anti-Israel campus protesters after the male hair loss company's stock dropped by 10 percent amid a boycott sparked by his comments. Andrew Dudum, who identifies as Palestinian-American, last week sparked uproar by offering jobs to the campus protesters at Columbia and other schools. Share holders sold off their positions and customers canceled their subscriptions in a boycott that tanked the company's value. On Sunday night, Dudum took to X to 'clarify' his comments, toning down his full-throated support after a wave of backlash.

Is anyone really surprised? After weeks of bias intimidation by Hamas supporters aimed at Jewish students and faculty, including Khymani James, an encampment leader who had talked to Columbia University officials about killing Jews, the Biden administration’s Department of Education, with the inevitability of a rigged slot machine in Reno, is launching a “civil rights investigation” into the university for “extreme anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, and Islamophobic harassment”. The complaint comes from ‘Palestine Legal’, the same group providing advice to the encampment protesters. It complains that “Columbia has reinforced the hostile anti-Palestinian environment, including by suspending Students for Justice in Palestine — a student organization that advocates for Palestinian human rights.

The Chicago Teachers Union's contract is set to expire in June which will soon prompt negotiations between educators and the school board. Union President Stacy Davis Gates said in early March that her proposed contract for 2024 to 2028 'will cost $50 billion and 3 cents.' 'And so what?' Davis Gates added. 'That’s audacity. That’s Chicago.' The teachers union is demanding nine percent cost of living adjustments every year. According to Indeed, the average salary of a teacher in Chicago Public Schools is $67,718. With raises every year for four years, teachers would be getting paid about $95,000 a year by 2028, which is roughly 36 percent higher than the national average.

While most Americans don’t like Communist China, the highest negative scores for the Communist dictatorship can be found among Republicans and older Americans, while the most positive ones can be found among Democrats and younger people. Notably the only two groups where a quarter believe that China is a “partner” are 18-29-year-olds and “conservative” Democrats: a group that these days is disproportionately black. Liberals are the least likely of any group to see China as an enemy. And less than a third of Democrats in general view China as an enemy. Among 18-29-year-olds, 1 in 5 have a somewhat favorable view of China.

The coalition, represented by the Thomas More Society—a conservative law firm based in Chicago—accused James of carrying out a "witch hunt" after her office sent out "Notice of Intention to Sue" letters to multiple pregnancy help organizations calling on them to stop providing "persistent misleading statements" while advertising the safety and proficiency of abortion pill reversal (APR) methods.

The case for saying ‘pregnant people’

Posted by Hazymac 5/7/2024 11:38:31 AM Post Reply
The use of phrases such as “pregnant people” or “penis owners” in cultural or political discourse is sometimes met with confusion, or even anger. Why use these terms when, as some people ask, “only women can get pregnant” or when “only men have penises?” Those people and institutions using gender-neutral language aim to be cognizant of the fact that sex doesn’t always align with gender identity, said psychiatrist Dr. Jack Drescher, past president of the Group for Advancement of Psychiatry and clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University in New York City. And it’s the most inclusive, streamlined way to refer to everyone who, regardless of their gender identity,

American men are opting out of the workforce at unforeseen rates. For many, it's not an issue of not being able to find a job. They have simply opted out altogether. The Bureau of Labor Statistics found only 89 percent of working age men have a job or are actively looking for work. In 1950, that number was at 97 percent. While the early 1950s saw around 96 percent of working age American men between the ages of 25 and 54 working full or part-time jobs, that proportion has now moved to just 86 percent, according to the Bureau of

Stormy Daniels has taken the stand in Donald Trump’s hush money trial in a bombshell moment. The porn star will testify about the $130,000 she received to keep quiet about her alleged affair with the former president. The 77-year-old defendant has denied all claims he had a sexual relationship with Daniels. It is a huge juncture in the trial that prosecutors believe could take another two weeks. Judge Merchan ruled that Stormy will be able to testify about 'sexual acts' with Trump during her time on the stand.

Judas Iscariot was one of Jesus’s 12 Apostles. In the Garden of Gethsemane the night before Jesus's crucifixion, Judas betrayed Jesus to the Sanhedrin who eventually arrested Jesus. Jesus predicted this betrayal during the Last Supper. In exchange for his treachery, Judas received thirty pieces of silver. Could he have also been threatened? Who knows? The Bible says nothing about that. Modern day betrayals, particularly of leaders, occur via carrot or stick, reward or kompromat. For Judas, the price was a pocket of silver coins. For members of Congress, the price may be a do-nothing board seat, a cable news gig, or stock options worth millions.
