VIDEOYou can judge the effectiveness of a meme by the reactions to it. And by this standard the Trump Eclipse meme was a resounding SUCCESS judging by the number of IRKED liberal reactions to it. BTW, some think this meme was an official Trump campaign ad (looking at YOU, Time magazine) which makes this even funnier. Oh, and the guy at the end didn't seem so much of an irked liberal like the others and just a Trump impressionist who aided the popularity of the Trump Eclipse meme by doing a bit about it.

Daily Caller ^ | March 14, 2024 9:05 PM ET | REAGAN REESE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT
At least 7 states are slated to deploy ballot drop-boxes. All are likely to have no-excuse absentee voting. Five are on track to have more than two weeks of early voting, and Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and North Carolina will mail out absentee ballots more than six weeks before election day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Republicans are walking a tightrope heading into the 2024 election. They must show their base that they are fighting hard on the issue of election integrity, which many conservatives believe cost former President Donald Trump his 2020 re-election bid. Simultaneously, they must operate in the reality that they...

Blaze Media ^ | 28 Feb 2024 | Ken Lacorte
The company did things that might have sent a guy called Trump to jail ... Like paying someone to pretend he was an MTV executive interested in a show to mislead a reporter profiling the company. Or having Vice employees bring friends with laptops to pose as workers. Vice was accused of using hidden techniques to artificially inflate its audience numbers. According to one of Smith’s former girlfriends, “Shane would talk all the time about how stupid people were for giving them money.” ... An early, important investor was my ex-boss, Rupert Murdoch, whom Smith reportedly told, “I have Gen...

The Friday evening and Saturday morning shows for ABC, NBC, and CBS all ignored Friday’s 51st annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. where thousands turned out in the cold and the snow to protest the killing of the unborn. Friday’s NBC Nightly News was the worst offender because not only did they ignore pro-lifers, they actively promoted pro-abortion high schoolers. Host Lester Holt introduced the report, “Right now, millions of high school seniors are grappling with one of the biggest decisions of their lives, where to go to college. And as Savannah Sellers reports, there's one factor that’s taking...
 

Al Sharpton Says Biden Should Hype White Supremacy Fears for Political Reasons

Pssst! Al! When you publicly suggest that Joe Biden discuss white supremacy, you should at least pretend it is for moral, not ulterior political reasons. Unfortunately, Reverend Al Sharpton said the quiet part out loud on Monday's Morning Joe.Since Biden's handling of economy and border security has caused a slippage of support for him among black voters, Sharpton stated that when Biden uncorked another campaign speech in Charleston later in the day, he should bring up white supremacy in his speech as a way to shore up support among a group that has been increasingly disappointed in him.
 

The Only School Shootings Corporate Media Don’t Hype Are By Gender-Fluid Murderers

The Federalist ^ | JANUARY 09, 2024 | JORDAN BOYD
Only five days have passed since a 17-year-old shot up his school in Perry, Iowa, killing one and injuring five. Yet anyone looking for updates about the tragedy would be hard-pressed to find it on the front pages of any corporate outlet, unusual given the media’s typical amplification of such tragedies.The press is known for lengthy coverage glamorizing killers, inspiring copycat acts, and using shootings to push gun control. When covering tragedies that contradict leftist claims, however, Democrats and their cronies in the corrupt media quickly go radio silent.The Perry shooting is one such case. Once the Iowa killer was...
 

Record Global Gasoline Consumption Defies IEA Forecast (& EV Hype)

Oil Price ^ | 12/29/2023 | Tsevatana Paraskova
Global gasoline consumption hit a record 26.9 million barrels per day (bpd) this year, exceeding the 2019 peak and defying estimates that the last pre-pandemic year was the time when gasoline demand worldwide would peak. The data, reported by Bloomberg Opinion columnist Javier Blas, shows the latest figures from the International Energy Agency (IEA). The same agency, which has been strongly advocating for a faster energy transition for years, had predicted just this year that 2019 was the peak demand for gasoline globally. Back in June, in its Oil 2023 annual report, the IEA said that “Growth is set to...

VIDEONow that it is apparent that weaponizing the DOJ and using lawfare against Trump by charging him in multiple court cases leading into the 2024 election is NOT stopping Trump, look for the Democrats to desperately attempt to introduce Ranked Choice Voting in the Battleground States to stop Trump since that bizarre type of voting system negates the effect of third party candidates who would draw votes away from Biden. No wonder that the Trump hating Rolling Stoned is hyping Ranked Choice Voting in a dopey "instructional" video.

After Years of Political Hype, the Durham Inquiry Failed to Deliver

The New York Times via Yahoo ^ | May 17, 2023 | By Charlie Savage
WASHINGTON — The limping conclusion to John Durham’s four-year investigation of the Russia inquiry underscores a recurring dilemma in U.S. government: how to shield sensitive law enforcement investigations from politics without creating prosecutors who can run amok, never to be held to account. At a time when special counsels are proliferating — there have been four since 2017, two of whom are still at work — the much-hyped investigation by Durham, a special counsel, into the Russia inquiry ended with a whimper that stood in contrast to the countless hours of political furor that spun off from it. Durham delivered...

KYIV, Ukraine — The Ukrainian military has spent nearly 15 months exceeding the world’s expectations. Now, senior leaders are trying to lower those hopes, fearing that the outcome of an imminent counteroffensive aimed at turning the tide of the war with Russia may not live up to the hype. “The expectation from our counteroffensive campaign is overestimated in the world,” Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said in an interview this past week. “Most people are … waiting for something huge,” he added, which he fears may lead to “emotional disappointment.” The planned counterattack — made possible by donated Western weapons...
 

Politico Uses Climate Change to Hype 'Comprehensive Immigration Reform'

Newsbusters ^ | March 8, 2023 | P.J. Gladnick
It the magic phrase so beloved by liberals. Despite the lack of enforcement of existing immigration laws especially at the border, liberals claim that "comprehensive immigration reform" will somehow solve the current problems. Of course, they never get into specifics because to do so would make it very difficult to ever pass such legislation. The most they do is vaguely suggest a "path to citizenship" (i.e. amnesty) for the millions of people now illegally residing in the United States. Therefore Politico and its merry band of liberals in Zach Colman, Myah Ward, and Eli Stokols must be given credit for...

At the World Economic Forum, the annual gathering of globalist elites in Davos, Switzerland, a presentation hyped brain wave monitoring technology to allow employers to detect how hard their employees are working, whether they get distracted, and even if they have “amorous feelings” for coworkers. “You can not only tell whether a person is paying attention or their mind is wandering, but you can discriminate between the kinds of things they are paying attention to,” gushed the presenter. “Whether they’re doing something like central tasks, like programming, peripheral tasks like writing documentation, or unrelated tasks like surfing social media or...

"China is a responsible country and has always strictly abided by international law.

During the phone conversation, they communicated on how to deal with the incident in a calm and professional manner. Wang said in face of unexpected situations, both sides should maintain focus, communicate in a timely manner, avoid misjudgments, and manage differences. Prior to...

This is not hype or exaggeration. It is a simple, legal truth.With the signing of the “Respect for Marriage Act” into law, if you do not accept or affirm same-sex “marriage,” you are now in the same category as a racist. And you can be assured that this will be used as a weapon against you in the days to come.How can I make such statements?Let me remind you of the exact language of the bill, beginning with the opening words: “This act provides statutory authority for same-sex and interracial marriages.”I have already discussed the reasons why this language was...

American Thinker ^ | 10 Oct, 2022 | Brian C. Joondeph
Common sense logic is lost on the left. Media cranks apparently never learned science or critical thinking during journalism school. Hurricane season is upon Southeastern America and that means hair-on-fire hysteria from the media and the political left. After Hurricane Ian ravaged southwest coastal Florida, we have heard nothing but hype from the corporate media, eager to connect every hurricane to catastrophic global warming, climate change, or whatever excuse they are currently using to usher in the Green New Deal and tyrannical top-down control of all aspects of our lives. Hurricanes are not new and are a staple of southern...

Protests continue to roil Iran after the shocking death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman arrested by the morality police for an “improper hijab,” who is widely believed to have been beaten to death while in custody of the guards. Despite a crackdown that has so far claimed at least 76 lives, Iranians are not ready to back away and are raising their voices, more strongly than ever, demanding the abolition of the vice squads and the annulment of the hijab mandate. No apologies have been offered by the authorities, no resignations extended, and the Ministry of Interior, tasked with...
 

Major, Groundbreaking Increase in Hype in Grant Applications

The language used in grant applications is becoming increasingly hyperbolic, a study published last week (August 25) in JAMA Network Open finds. The study found that 130 research-hyping adjectives were used at a 1,378 percent higher frequency on average in funded application abstracts from 2020 than in those from 1985. “The findings in this study should serve to sensitize applicants, reviewers, and funding agencies to the increasing prevalence of subjective, promotional language in funding applications,” the authors write. The team, comprised of two linguists and a biomedical researcher, began by using software to annotate the parts of speech in more...

California Globe ^ | July 18, 2022 | Katy Grimes
Two officials at one of the largest hospital systems in Los Angeles and Southern California dismissed government officials’ statements about another wave of COVID-19 hitting the region and the United States as ‘media hype,’” The Epoch Times reported Sunday. This flies in the face of Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer’s announcement on Thursday that Los Angeles County has officially reached the “High” level of new COVID-19 cases and County hospitalization rates, giving the County two weeks to fall back below or else mandatory indoor masking mandates return, as the Globe reported.
