Today’s highly interesting read (01/28/20): CNN Portrays Trump Supporters as Illiterate Hillbilly Rubes

https://www.rawstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Don-Lemon.png

Today’s read is from Todd Starnes,  the host of Fox News & Commentary, heard on nearly 500 radio stations. He’s the author of the new book, “The Deplorables’ Guide to Making America Great Again.” The teaser…

CNN’s Don Lemon giggled like a schoolgirl as panelists Rick Wilson and Wajahat Ali mocked President Trump’s supporters as a bunch of illiterate hillbillies.

The arrogance, the dismissiveness, the smug cackling, the accents. If Donald Trump wins re-election this year, I’ll remember this brief CNN segment late one Saturday night in January as the perfect encapsulation for why it happened.

Honestly, folks – I’d rather be a gun-toting, Bible-clinging, illiterate hillbilly than a perpetually-offended, pajama boy snowflake.

There’s more. It’s all here.

 

School choice is tremendous for Wisconsin’s economy

January 26 – February 1 is National School Choice Week.  That means a week’s worth of celebration.

There are many reasons to celebrate. According to the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty the expansion of school choice in Wisconsin could result in $3.2 billion in new economic benefits to the state over the next two decades

Today’s highly interesting read (01/27/20): “If I could forget what my eyes have seen”

Image may contain: text

Today’s read is from the website The Officer Next Door.

About the site:

With a deep respect for what police officers do for this country and having done the job for over a decade, this blog was started with the goal of bridging the “gap” between police officers and the rest of society. We hope to offer a point of view through the eyes of a police officer about incidents that happen and police related topics in general. Most police officers can’t voice their opinions publicly due to department rules or policies, that is where we come in. For those who have never walked the streets wearing a bullet proof vest and a badge, it’s impossible to know what these men and women go through on a daily basis.

Read “If I could forget what my eyes have seen.”

Fashionista goes nuts over Lizzo’s Grammy dress

Lizzo won a Grammy Award Sunday night (she was nominated for eight).

Who’s Lizzo, you ask? She’s a very popular singer that’s only been recording for the past year or so. Oh, and she’s a large woman.

https://external-ort2-2.xx.fbcdn.net/safe_image.php?d=AQBOOmEot5-jsc8d&w=540&h=282&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gannett-cdn.com%2Fpresto%2F2019%2F06%2F28%2FPMJS%2Fc62e1a46-b204-498f-9088-4a0e158a69c0-MJS_side27_06lizzo.jpg%3Fcrop%3D3527%2C1984%2Cx1%2Cy362%26width%3D3200%26height%3D1680%26fit%3Dbounds&cfs=1&upscale=1&fallback=news_d_placeholder_publisher&_nc_hash=AQAw5UnfWGCR19kN

That’s her onstage at Milwaukee’s Summerfest in 2019. Lizzo made national news after she accused a Summerfest security guard of racism.

More national attention came earlier this month, again, not because of her music.

Celebrity fitness trainer Jillian Michaels (above) questioned why Lizzo fans are “celebrating her body” and not her songs. “Why are we celebrating her body? Why does it matter? Why aren’t we celebrating her music?” asked the 45-year-old author of “Slim for Life.””It isn’t going to be awesome if she gets diabetes,” Michaels continued. “I love her music. My kid loves her music. But there’s never a moment where I’m like, ‘And I’m so glad that she’s overweight.'”Naturally, reporters and social media blasted Michaels (white woman criticizing black woman).

Following Sunday’s Grammy Awards ceremony fashionista Megan Riedlinger of Wonderwall.com couldn’t refrain from gushing all over Lizzo.

“One of the stars we were most excited to see on the red carpet at this year’s Grammys? Lizzo — who certainly didn’t disappoint in this angelic Atelier Versace confection.”

“The white gown featured a slinky silhouette embroidered with sparkling crystals and was topped with a white fur stole. Check out the way Lizzo’s fur stole included stunning crystal-covered bracelets to keep it in place. We loved that extra sparkly detail, and the way she added some more simple diamond bracelets to the mix.

“Those nails! To complete her heavenly white Versace ensemble, Lizzo’s nails included silver embellishments and diamonds dripping from each nail.”

Hmm. These are the same so-called “fashion experts” that toss arrows at…

Naturally there all kinds of polls and surveys and studies about what football fans love to devour on Super Bowl Sunday. However there appears to be some level of consistency when it comes to favorites: Chili, nachos, subs, wings, pizza, chips, dip, salsa, guacamole, etc.

Now comes a new study that breaks down which Super Bowl food is the most popular in each state. Bid on Equipment performed the research. Data  was collected from Google search volume and a 1,200-person national survey. The average respondent age was 37.

The survey found that across America…

Nothing wrong with these weenies. They’re Super Bowl favorites in eleven states, not just here. I love ’em. And granted, they’re cheap and easy.

But I can’t imagine hearty Wisconsinites dreaming on their way to a party, “Gee, I sure hope they have those little weenies and sauce!”

I think this survey is, well…junk.
