Fox News Channel is parting ways – again – with Bob Beckel, the co-host of its primetime program, “The Five.” “Bob Beckel was terminated today for making an insensitive remark to an African-American employee,” the network said in a statement. The dismissal opens – or perhaps closes – another chapter in an off-and-on relationship Beckel has had with the 21st Century Fox-owned cable-news outlet over the years. Beckel, a longtime political consultant as well as a former campaign manager for Democratic presidential candidate Walter Mondale, joined Fox News in 2000, and had a years-long tenure on “The Five” when it...

Andy Ngo reported on a Muslim student admitting that his religion mandated death for those who leave it, and was summarily dismissed from his position at the Vanguard, the campus newspaper. No one at PSU seems particularly concerned with the plight of those who leave Islam in Muslim countries, but those who call attention to this fact are “predatory” and “reckless.” This is modern academia: truths that deviate from the Leftist line are ruthlessly suppressed. “Student Shares Video Critical Of Islam, Gets Fired From College Newspaper,” by Rob Shimshock, Daily Caller, May 12/2017: "An Oregon college student lost his job...

Veteran reporter Tom Brokaw said in an interview with Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC that he has not seen anybody who thinks former FBI Director James Comey was doing a good job. Brokaw, who covered the Watergate scandal in the 1970s, suggested that much of the media response to Comey's Tuesday firing and Russia's possible connection to President Donald Trump's campaign team was "speculation." "One of the things that I learned during Watergate … is that we dealt with it every day on a factual basis. There was not a lot of speculation. Now, of course, the media landscape has changed...

Former FBI Director James Comey reportedly told associates in March that President Trump was "crazy" for suggesting former President Barack Obama had wiretapped him. Comey also called the president “outside the realm of normal,” according to a report from The New York Times on Wednesday. The Times said that, in return, Trump was furious when Comey publicly refused to back his claims that he was wiretapped during the 2016 campaign before the House Intelligence Committee in March. Comey said during the March 20 hearing that the FBI had “no information” supporting Trump’s allegations. The Times report highlight lingering tensions between...

Say you're a terrorist out there, plotting your next massacre as ISIS does. Or a malevolent and unpredictable dictator, contemplating another illegal missile launch over Japan, such as North Korea's Kim Jong-un. Imagine you're a power player yourself, such as Russia's Vladimir Putin. Imagine you're a crazed failure running out of money as the mobs build, such as Chavista Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro. What do you think when President Trump fires 'the most powerful man in Washington?' And not just fires him, but does it in the coldest possible way - publicly, through the television screens, as Comey bizarrely laughed, convinced...

I'll say this for the suddenly departed FBI honcho James Comey: He's caused enough cases of whiplash to collapse Obamacare before the end of the week. The left in particular likes its cardboard heroes and cartoon villains drawn in bright Sharpie colors, and Comey insists on jumping back and forth between one role and the other like a movie stuntman leaping the roofs from northbound to southbound train. Comey's not going to charge Hillary? What a stand-up guy! The very model of a dedicated public servant! Comey's re-opened the Hillary investigation? What a partisan hack! He's just thrown the election...

Hillary Clinton broke the law and James Comey, the recently fired former FBI director, provided cover. Huma Abedin, Hillary’s longtime right-hand woman, broke the law and James Comey provided cover. Both political parties have called for his firing at various times over the past year — albeit for usually different reasons. Yet on Wednesday, establishment RINO relic John McCain, CR 33%, 80, said in a brief interview on CNN that James Comey is somehow “the most respected person in America” and said that there was “not sufficient rationale” for the firing of Comey. “When you fire probably, arguably, the most...

A curious belief in some circles of journalism holds that if both sides are equally unhappy with your story, you’ve done a good job. I never subscribed to that approach, and thankfully, President Trump didn’t when it came to the performance of James Comey. The suddenly former FBI boss was long cavalier about making enemies among both Democrats and Republicans, as if going rogue repeatedly proved his rectitude. On occasion it did, but Comey increasingly wore his self-righteousness on his sleeve, confident he was too big to fire. That was his fatal mistake. And it’s why Trump made the right...

The FBI chief forfeited his credibility with his 2016 interventions! President Trump fired James Comey late Tuesday, and better now than never. These columns opposed Mr. Comey’s nomination by Barack Obama, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Director has committed more than enough mistakes in the last year to be dismissed for cause. Mr. Trump sacked Mr. Comey on the advice of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, a former U.S. Attorney with a straight-up-the-middle reputation who was only recently confirmed by the Senate. In a memo to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Mr. Rosenstein cited Mr. Comey’s multiple breaches of Justice...

Democrats from Harry Reid to Chuck Schumer and all through the rest wanted Comey out. Gone. Resigned if not tarred and feathered. Tonight they got their wish from a president who rightly concluded the FBI director had lost the confidence of both Republicans and Democrats and the media. The Democratic response? It’s Watergate! And you want to know why Americans are cynical about politics?

James Comey Learned He Was Fired from TV – and Initially Thought It Was a Prank By Stephanie Petit Posted on May 10, 2017 at 7:58am EDT Former FBI Director James Comey reported learned he had been fired by President Donald Trump from a TV report while he wasin the Los Angeles field office talking to agents – and he thought it was a joke. “He was caught flat-footed,” an FBI source told The Los Angeles Times. According to The New York Times, Comey did not immediately believe the news and even laughed in response, thinking the report was a...

FBI director Comey misled the nation by not advising the Department of Justice to indict according to existing law procedure on the books, for the crimes stipulated under law. That, is enough reason to have him terminated This author asserted at this website four months ago that; • There is no supportable evidence of a successful Russian attempt that can be credited with scuttling Hillary Clinton’s presidential aspirations; • That there’s no evidence of WIKILEAKS and Vladimir Putin conspiring or coordinating to change the results of the American elections; • There’s no evidence of the Trump Campaign or Donald Trump...

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Tuesday he is “disappointed” with President Trump's decision to fire FBI Directory James Comey, arguing such a move reinforces his calls for a special congressional panel to investigate Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. “While the President has the legal authority to remove the Director of the FBI, I am disappointed in the President's decision to remove James Comey from office,” McCain said in a statement. Comey’s firing comes in the midst of an ongoing FBI investigation into whether Moscow interfered in the 2016 election, including whether Trump transition officials worked with Russian officials....

Comey is an incompetent, lying slimeball far more interested in Washington politics and staying in the media spotlight than in doing the right thing. Good riddance President Trump is draining the swamp. On the advice of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and from Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, President Trump has terminated the employment of FBI Director James Comey, effective immediately. Here is thetext of the president’s letter to Comey:

Fox News is planning to sever ties with Bill O’Reilly, the popular host who is embroiled in a sexual harassment scandal, according to a new report. The Wall Street Journal reported late Tuesday that sources close to the situation reported a final decision regarding the host of “The O’Reilly Factor” could come in the next several days.

ESPN, the cable sports network that’s been hemorrhaging viewers for months, asked their hosts to get more political. But when Sage Steele, a black, conservative-leaning host did just that, they replaced her with someone far more liberal. Recently, Steele complained that the anti-Trump protestors demonstrating against the president’s travel ban at their airport caused her to miss her flight. In February, she spurred controversy by saying she’s faced more racism from black people than from people of other races. {..snip..}

Kerry O'Grady was the Special Agent in Charge for the U.S. Secret ServiceÂ’s Denver district office. ItÂ’s a prominent position, given that she works with the D.C-based advance teams for all presidential visits into the area. Well, she, like many other anti-Trump folks in the country, just couldnÂ’t keep her mouth shut about the 45th presidentÂ’s upset win over Hillary Clinton. She took to social media, writing on Facebook that she would rather go to jail than take a bullet for Trump. This was posted during the 2016 season. She also voiced her support for Clinton. All of this is...
