New York Post ^ | April 24, 2024 | Social Links forPatrick Reilly
Performance artist and anti-Israel activist “Crackhead Barney” refused to say why she harassed Alec Baldwin at a New York City coffee shop this week in an utterly bizarre interview with Piers Morgan Wednesday — and insisted she was “maimed” by the actor. The left-wing agitator’s appearance on Morgan’s “Uncensored” was surreal from the get-go. “I’ve been waiting for you Piers f–king Morgan!” the popular ambush interviewer, who boasts nearly 100,000 followers on Instagram, screamed after she was introduced on the program. Crachead Barney’s face was painted white with bright red lipstick. She wore a messy blonde wig, a neck brace...

Alec Baldwin’s scuffle with a loudmouthed anti-Israel agitator at a New York City coffee shop spilled out onto the sidewalk, new photos obtained by The Post show. An irate Baldwin, 66, was seen struggling with the woman out the front door and down the stoop of Maman, an upscale cafe on University Place in Greenwich Village, after she had accosted him inside on Monday and demanded he declare “Free Palestine” as she filmed him. Footage of the encounter, first posted online by the woman herself, cut off after Baldwin took a swipe at her phone — and new photos appear...

An animated reboot of Barney is in the works, according to Mattel, and is set to arrive sometime in 2024.

The show will accompany several films and YouTube videos featuring Barney, alongside a launch of new kids’ merchandise. Adult appeal and accessories with the original Barney design are also expected to release.
 

If Barney Frank Were a Republican, He’d Be the Media’s Banking-Crisis Villain

Hot Air ^ | 17 Ma 2023 | Jim Geraghty
There’s something absolutely fascinating going on in the coverage of the current banking crisis. One of the two (or three? Four?) banks at the center of the story has a really prominent former congressman on its board of directors — a co-architect of how the federal government regulates banks. He’s known for his acerbic comments, and he’s doing a bunch of interviews right now in a hasty effort at reputation management. But you really have to look around to find anyone who’s casting this congressman as a villain in this story; he’s being treated as a mildly ironic bystander to...

The Hill ^ | 03/16/2023 | STEPHEN NEUKAM
Barney Frank, the former congressman from Massachusetts who helped design the landmark banking safety legislation after the 2008 economic crisis, defended his involvement with the now-defunct Signature Bank, which was taken over by New York state officials this week. “I worked as a member of Congress for a certain objective,” Frank said in an interview with the Financial Times. “And then having retired, not having a pension by my choice, not wanting to be a lobbyist for reasons personal, I need to make some money.”
 

Barney Frank, architect of Dodd-Frank Act, pushes back on Democrats blaming Trump for bank collapses

The Blaze ^ | March 14, 2023 | Chris Enloe
Democrats, including President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), are blaming Donald Trump for the sudden collapse of two banks, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. But Barney Frank, a leading sponsor of the Dodd-Frank Act, sharply disagrees. The law, signed by then-President Barack Obama in 2010, made significant changes to Wall Street regulations and federal financial regulatory agencies in the aftermath of the financial meltdown in 2008. The bill, though controversial, was theoretically designed to protect Americans. Democrats say Trump is responsible because he signed a law rolling back some of the regulations enacted by the Dodd-Frank Act....

Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), author of the 2010 Dodd-Frank bill, sat on the board for Signature Bank which collapsed in the wake of the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) implosion. The U.S. Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) announced in a joint statement on Sunday the plan to manage the fallout of SVB’s collapse as well as the demise of Signature Bank. “Today we are taking decisive actions to protect the U.S. economy by strengthening public confidence in our banking system,” the joint statement read. “This step will ensure that the U.S. banking system...

Barney's new look is facing scrutiny across social media, after Mattel, Inc unveiled his CGI makeover on Monday while teasing the relaunch of his beloved franchise. In response to the purple dinosaur's new look, which included a wider grin, gap between his teeth and green eyes, many were left wondering why the company choose to fix some that 'wasn't broken.' 'Why does Barney look like he’s sky high cracked on cocaine? That face is unsettling as hell,' one Twitter user asked as more expressed horror over his new face and teeth. On Monday, Mattel, Inc. announced it will be relaunching...

An outraged pro-choice protester sporting a one-piece bathing suit screamed 'I'm killing the babies' as she led a march of demonstrators targeting Catholic churches in New York City. 'God killed his son, why can’t I?' the protester, NYC-based performance artist Crackhead Barney, repeatedly screamed as she dangled a baby doll during a Saturday morning demonstration outside the Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral. A smaller group of pro-life activists assembled on the steps of the iconic Manhattan church, facing the abortion advocates, and prayed the rosary. They also sang the hymn Ave Maria. The demonstrations came amid a call for...
 

41-Years Ago, “Barney Miller” Warned About What’s Happening Today

The Liberty Daily ^ | Apr. 16, 2022 | J.D. Rucker
Growing up, I would catch scenes from the show “Barney Miller,” a sitcom centered around a New York City police precinct. I was too young to understand most of the jokes but my parents loved it (my dad was a cop). In four decades, I hadn’t seen a scene from the show since they originally aired. When the video below was sent to me, I figured it would be another loose connection between what we’re seeing today with a mention of “The New World Order” or something. As it turned out, the predictions (predictive programming?) were striking. Replace the bad...
 

Barney Frank: Liz Cheney should go independent and Wyoming Democrats should back her in her House race

I’d give her a one percent chance of being reelected if she takes Frank’s advice. Versus a zero percent chance of being reelected if she follows through on running in the GOP primary. So I guess his logic is sound. To be clear, he’s not recommending that she become a Democrat. Cheney wouldn’t do that since her policy preferences are almost totally misaligned with the other party. She’s anti-coup and pro-gay-marriage (belatedly) and that’s about where the common ground ends. What Frank wants is for Cheney to retain her conservative Republican identity but to bypass the primary by declaring herself...

MSNBC's Tiffany Cross misled viewers today by cutting out a portion of remarks from Polk County, Florida Sheriff Grady Judd explaining the difference between a peaceful protest and a riot. Cross started the video with Judd pointing to a photo in his right hand, saying: "This is a riot. And this will get you locked up before quick in the State of Florida. Pay attention. We’ve got a new law, and we’re going to use it if you make us. ​​​​​" Cross then mocked the sheriff as a "Barney Fyfe reject." But Cross didn't mention the photo that was in...

Activists say ‘Barney & Friends’ theme song playing on repeat at vacant San Pedro property for weeks is anti-homeless harassment

KTLA ^ | 2/5/2021 | Rick Chambers, Sareen Habeshian
The theme song from “Barney & Friends” has been blaring 24 hours a day for weeks on Palos Verdes Street in San Pedro. There are about two dozen homeless individuals who have pitched tents on the sidewalk there, and they say the blaring kids’ music is a not-so-subtle way to get them to move. “It’s psychological,” said Danielle Nunez of Street Watch LA, a mutual aid organization that helps the homeless. “It is to keep people up. They can’t have a quiet space and it’s playing at nighttime so that people literally cannot sleep.” The vacant property is run by...

Former U.S. Rep. Barney Frank asserted that Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s sexual orientation is helping him in the polls among Democrats running for president, saying voters likely give Buttigieg credit for being open and honest about himself. “His being gay is an advantage,” Frank, who became the first openly gay Congress member in 1987, told the Boston Globe on Friday. Frank, 79, who represented Massachusetts in the House from 1981 to 2013 after serving as a state lawmaker, added that if Buttigieg were straight he didn’t think he would be doing as well. It “gives people a chance to affirm their...
