CNN Strains to Deflect From Woke Scolds
Offended by 'Blazing Saddles' on Its 50th Anniversary

This week we celebrate the anniversary of the release of what is considered one of the all-time comedy classic movies, “Blazing Saddles.” While the film is built on the framework of satirizing Westerns, creator Mel Brooks wove in numerous other elements of modern social commentary and even took things to a self-referential limit by having his universe physically break through into the contemporary era. Writing at CNN, Noah Berlatsky looked over the general support for the movie over the generations and displayed that he is bothered by some of those who have shown affection for the film. As a result, he painfully tries to contort things

America is still slack-jawed in amazement at last week's blithering antics of President Cornholio. The guy would have to work his way up to being senile, and the fact that he was always stupid and arrogant and malicious just makes his present condition a million times worse. That the guy is manifestly unfit to be president is obvious; what is also obvious is that this guy isn't going anywhere. It's Trump versus Biden all the way to November. On the plus side, watching the horror of the Democrats at this spectacle is absolutely delightful.
They are trying to cope. During the disastrous news conference,
As they have done for the past several Super Bowl broadcasts, the NFL opened the Super Bowl with a performance of the song Lift Every Voice and Sing, the so-called “black national anthem.” But not every voice appreciated the left-wing gesture.
The song was performed by R&B singer, Grammy Award winner, and actress Andra Day: [video]
The reaction was immediate and many were not enthused. [Tweets]
No joke. He really thinks you are that stupid, America. After driving up the price of food 33 percent in three years thanks to his disastrous inflationary policies, Joe Biden is portraying himself as standing up for the little guy by attacking the snack food industry over “shrinkflation”, selling smaller packages at the same price to compensate for Biden’s inflation.
On Super Bowl Sunday, the White House posted a video on its social media platforms featuring Biden complaining that there are fewer snack chips in bags, smaller sports drink containers and–what makes ice cream lover Joe the “most angry”–smaller cartons of ice cream.
Joe Biden will never step aside for this year's presidential election, according to his campaign chief.
During an appearance on NBC's "Meet The Press," the former mayor of New Orleans turned Biden campaign chief Mitch Landrieu was asked by host Kristen Welker about recent speculation around the president's mental and physical capacity to hold office.
"Our NBC news poll found that 76% of voters are concerned (snip) The one thing Joe Biden is never going to do is — count on this — he is never, ever going to quit. Because that’s not what he’s done his entire life.

Chris Christie continues to step up his attacks against his former political ally Donald Trump.
The former New Jersey governor, who suspended his own 2024 presidential campaign in January, appeared on NBC's 'Meet The Press' on Sunday to discuss Trump's latest comments about Vladimir Putin.
Speaking at a rally this week, Trump said he would allow Russia to attack an allied country if they had refused to pay their fair share of military spending:
One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, sir, if we don’t pay and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us? I said you didn’t pay, you’re delinquent?
Bill Maher’s new rule for future officeholders is one that everyone can agree on—if you run, you can’t hate it here. The comedian’s closing monologue was also aimed at conservatives, but most was directed at his side. Liberals have been beating this drum louder in recent years. That rhythm increased when Trump was elected in 2016, with this penchant and affinity for becoming a permanent expat. The HBO host touched upon the illogical position the Left has taken with this trend, namely wanting hordes of illegal aliens to cross into the United States in the hopes of enjoying a better life in a country that cannot stand.
Let’s see: straws, plastic anything, gas powered anything, light bulbs, refrigerators, guns, diving boards, disposable diapers, charcoal grills, the nozzle on your hose and shower head to control your water consumption, the thermostat in your house to control the temperature you live at, and now the tires on your car, so you can be unsafe when you drive, but environmentally responsible in some mythical way.
In Washinton state, Democrats want to outlaw the most popular tires. House Bill 2262 intends to disrupt people’s lives by mandating low rolling resistance tires on all passenger vehicles. Of course, this tire ban, by eliminating the tires that everyone wants to use, punishes the innocent.
In watching Biden’s speech the other day, I was disgusted by his words, attitudes, lies, anger, and abandonment of Israel. I usually listen to him without actually watching his speeches, but seeing him this time made me do a little research about his eyes…
It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and Biden’s pupils were so dilated that his eyes were solid black while he was reinterpreting the words of the special prosecutor. Looking at previous speeches, it seems that all of his “big” speeches have the same image: significantly dilated pupils. Since I don’t actually believe that he is the anti-Christ,
Team Biden’s handling of the Hur report has not gone well. Someone either decided Joe Biden should address the nation in a speech and to answer questions after his bedtime, or failed to convince Biden not to. Experts on both sides of the aisle are panning Biden’s evening speech as not being helpful to his cause, and they’re right.
Now, the Biden campaign is literally trying to fundraise off of “outrage” over the report. The campaign sent out an email Saturday night with a statement from Jill Biden.
Generally speaking, there is nothing new in this statement we haven’t already heard
Mayor Tiffany Henyard (D) of Dolton, Illinois, got heated with officials Monday when they questioned her on issues that have brought a wave of criticism.
Fox News reported Thursday that she was pelted with questions about her controversial spending habits and transparency. [Video]
Video footage shows the meeting with Henyard speaking to fellow officials. She said, “Y’all should be ashamed of y’all selves. Y’all black. Y’all are black. And y’all sitting up here beating and attacking on a black woman that’s in power. You should be ashamed of y’all selves.”
“Y’all forget I am the leader. They want to hear from the mayor.
Pop star Taylor Swift reportedly sold one of her gas-guzzling private jets for $40 million amid threats to sue a college student who has been tracking her emissions. The “Karma” singer, meanwhile, is keeping her larger plane.
Swift sold her Dassault Falcon 900LX on January 30 to the Missouri-based car insurance company Car Shield, according to documents obtained by Daily Mail.
The move comes as Swift threatens legal action against a Florida college student who uses publicly available flight data to track her private jet usage. The singer drew criticism over a cease-and-desist letter her lawyers sent to the student.

For the last couple of days, the news world has been abuzz with the Hur Report, its condemnation of President Biden's mental state, and its implications for the 2024 Presidential race. Day by day, more and more Democrats are showing some willingness to yank the rug out from under old Joe and sub in someone else. There is a lot of noise about someone either belling the cat and convincing Joe (or, more likely, Jill) to step down for "reasons of health" or "family matters" or to outright 25th Amendment the old man into the next time zone, which would put Kamala Harris at the Resolute Desk and,
In an unusual session held on Super Bowl Sunday, the US Senate voted to move forward a substantial $95 billion aid package that will support Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with no southern border security provisions.[Snip]On Monday morning, Trump-supporting Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) posted a stunning report on X. According to Senator Vance, the Senate funding package includes language that makes it impossible for President Trump to terminate the Ukraine War funding into his second term.[Snip]“Buried in the bill’s text is an impeachment time bomb for the next Trump presidency if he tries to stop funding the war in Ukraine. We must vote against this disastrous bill,” Sen. Vance wrote.

Fans for Not Standing for ‘Negro National Anthem’ 33 replies
White Tennessee Democrat Congressman Steve Cohen was incensed that Super Bowl fans did not stand in respect for what he called the “Negro National Anthem” during Sunday night’s big game.
As it has for the last several championship games, the NFL opened the Super Bowl with the song “Life Every Voice and Sing,” which many agitators have proclaimed to be “the black national anthem.”
Of course, it isn’t a “national anthem” at all, but regardless, Congressman Cohen was not happy that the video of fans in the stands showed that not many were standing
DENVER — A Denver woman said she has been left with an unexpected mess after she sold her van to an undocumented migrant.
She learned the new owner of her vehicle can’t register the van or insure it in his name. Kamelah Miller was looking to do some renovations on her home. So, her friend recommended someone who could do the work at a reasonable price. “Shortly after that, he was telling me he was looking to buy a car and I was looking to sell mine,” Miller said. Miller gave him a price on her Volkswagen Routan and he
Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that he believed Special Counsel Robert Hur is a “hack” who released a political report on President Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents.
(snip) “As a former federal prosecutor, my reaction was Robert Hur couldn’t make a legal case against Joe Biden so he decided to make a political case(snip)What he did was willful, that is, Robert Hur.. What he did was deliberate, and what he did he knew would damage Joe Biden (snip) )I can tell you this, if Robert Hur were a line prosecutor, he would be disciplined or fired.
Vice President Kamala Harris was confronted with voters’ concerns about President Joe Biden’s age and told the Wall Street Journal she is “ready to serve.”
Her comments came in an interview with the outlet aboard Air Force Two last Tuesday – days before special counsel Robert Hur released his damning report on the Biden classified documents investigation, noted the Wall Street Journal national politics reporter Tarini Parti:
Vice President Kamala Harris was detailing her priorities for the campaign during a flight on Air Force Two early last week when she was asked a delicate question hanging over the Democratic ticket: Do voters’ concerns

Don’t count on former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to leave the Republican Party any time soon, despite his constant grousing about the GOP’s behavior. Christie affirmed he is a Republican and intends to fight for the party. “No, no, no,” Christie told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday when asked if he’d leave the GOP. “I am ready to change the Republican Party. I will never stop fighting to change my party. I am a Republican.”
Joe Biden is incapable of assuring voters he can handle another presidential term, his team has 'no plan' on how to deal with his senile behavior, and he should simply 'not be running for re-election,' according to New York Times authors.
Anxieties from the liberal Times' Editorial Board and opinion writers show how worried they are that ailing Biden may not be able to beat 'bad man' Donald Trump this year.
The back-to-back opinion pieces knifing the elderly president, 81, over the weekend comes after a Justice Department report ripped into his handling of classified documents and portrayed him as a forgetful old man.
In light of the terrible week Joe Biden had, it was inevitable that the media would try to drum up some fake controversy about Donald Trump. In fact, they happily obliged by grossly distorting comments Trump made during a campaign speech in Conway, South Carolina, on Saturday. "Former President Donald Trump on Saturday said he would encourage Russia to do 'whatever the hell they want' to any NATO member country that doesn't meet spending guidelines in a stunning admission he would not abide by the collective defense clause at the heart of the alliance if reelected," reported CNN.

Democrats are quietly pushing President Joe Biden’s aides to have the president engage more frequently with the public following Thursday night’s turbulent press conference in response to a special counsel report, according to Politico. In his report assessing whether Biden previously mishandled classified documents as a private citizen, special counsel Robert Hur made reference to Biden’s advanced age and repeated mental lapses.

I wrote more in a story earlier about a report on Jill Biden's handler role of her husband, the freakout that she had at him and his aides, when no one stopped him during a disastrous press conference, and how she was the one who pushed him to run because of her hatred for former President Donald Trump. Now, she is showing that handler role again, with a statement on the report issued by Special Counsel Robert Hur in the classified document investigation. The statement was issued in her name, as part of a fundraising email sent out by the Biden campaign.
