What you say is utter nonsense is a pretty good sign that it is no such thing.

The feud between (Ann Coulter) and (Sean Hannity) is bigger than them.


Published June 29, 2017
Quote:
Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity represent two types of President Trump supporters.

The Coulter faction's principal loyalty is to the ideas Trump embodied during the campaign.

The Hannity group's primary allegiance is to Trump himself.


The split has always been there, but now it is widening as Coulter and those in her camp grow impatient for Trump to make good on his promises, and become frustrated by the Hannity bloc's lack of interest in holding the president accountable.

Tensions erupted on Wednesday when Coulter ripped Hannity for editing an interview that aired on his Fox News show last Thursday in which Coulter criticized Trump's inclusion of Goldman Sachs alumni such as chief economic adviser Gary Cohn in his administration. Here's some of what Coulter wrote in a column published by Breitbart News.

Sean Hannity, bless his heart, has the zeal of the late Trump convert. He would endorse communism if Trump decided to implement the policies of “The Communist Manifesto.” (Which the GOP’s health care bill actually does!)

On his show last Thursday, he tried to get me to defend Trump’s “rich person” remarks about Cohn. I wish you could see the segment, but, unfortunately, Hannity decided no one would ever see it — NOT, I hasten to add, because he would ever censor criticism of Trump, but simply because he ran out of time.

In a pretaped interview. It was a time problem. (It may not be evident to most viewers, but three minutes MUST be left at the end of every Hannity show for Nerf ball throwing.)

With the zealotry of those who came late to the Trump party, Hannity fully endorsed Trump’s faith in Cohn, adding, “I never got a job from a poor man!”

Those of us who have been here for a while — unlike Cruz- and Rubio-supporting Hannity — know how to party responsibly. The best way we serve the people we admire is to tell them the truth. (Someday, no doubt, Nancy Pelosi will wish she had been surrounded by fewer Yes Men.)

The motto of we longtime Trump supporters is: NO TREATS FOR DOING NOTHING!

Hannity, who called Coulter a “friend” and said “we love having you on” during the part of the interview that made air last week, quickly returned fire on Twitter.

Ann, u fall in and out of love with Christie Romney Trump and how many others. Frankly you just bore me.

— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) June 28, 2017

Hannity added that he was “not late” to what Coulter called the “Trump party.” “Late” is a subjective term, but recall that Hannity strongly protested Ted Cruz's accusation, during the Republican presidential primary, that Hannity favored Trump over the rest of the GOP field.

Hannity did not formally endorse Trump until the billionaire was the last Republican standing. He wanted to be seen as neutral while the race was in progress, but now he wants to be seen as a longtime Trump backer.

Anyway, the nature of Trump support — not the duration — is at the heart of this feud. Coulter might not be ready to jump off the Trump Train, but she has publicly vented her dismay at the president's lack of progress on his populist, nationalist agenda.

Meanwhile, Hannity seems to value Trump's personal qualities so highly that he is not bothered by the absence of funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, the presence of Wall Street bankers in high-ranking jobs or the details of a GOP health-care plan that does not amount to a full repeal of the Affordable Care Act.

Unless Trump starts delivering more of what he pledged on the campaign trail, the segments of his base that supported him for different reasons — represented by Coulter and Hannity — are likely to drift further apart.

MUELLER: THE WHITEY BULGER AFFAIR

The Boston Globe noted Robert Mueller’s connection with the Whitey Bulger case in an article entitled, “One Lingering Question for FBI Director Robert Mueller.” The Globe said this: “[Mike] Albano [former Parole Board Member who was threatened by two FBI agents for considering parole for the men imprisoned for a crime they did not commit] was appalled that, later that same year, Mueller was appointed FBI director, because it was Mueller, first as an assistant US attorney then as the acting U.S. attorney in Boston, who wrote letters to the parole and pardons board throughout the 1980s opposing clemency for the four men framed by FBI lies. Of course, Mueller was also in that position while Whitey Bulger was helping the FBI cart off his criminal competitors even as he buried bodies in shallow graves along the Neponset…”

Mueller was the head of the Criminal Division as Assistant U.S. Attorney, then as Acting U.S. Attorney. I could not find any explanation online by Mueller as to why he insisted on keeping the defendants in prison that FBI agents—in the pocket of Whitey Bulger— had framed for a murder they did not commit. Make no mistake: these were not honorable people he had incarcerated. But it was part of a pattern that eventually became quite clear that Mueller was more concerned with convicting and putting people in jail he disliked, even if they were innocent of the charges, than he was with ferreting out the truth. I found no explanation as to why he did not bear any responsibility for the $100 million paid to the defendants who were framed by FBI agents under his control. The Boston Globe said, “Thanks to the FBI’s corruption, taxpayers got stuck with the $100 million bill for compensating the framed men, two of whom, Greco and Tameleo, died in prison.”


So this super wanker (Mueller) had already cost taxpayers upwards of a hundred million dollars for criminal abuse of prosecutorial powers before he ever came to national prominance for little wankers to make some sort of a hero out of.

Not Sending their Best! 118 Illegal Aliens Caught in NY, 90% Are Criminals

Quote:
Of those 118 individuals arrested for violating U.S. immigration laws, more than 107 people (or 90% of the group) were convicted criminals or had criminal charges pending, ICE announced in a statement.

“Several had prior felony convictions for serious or violent offenses, such as child sex crimes, weapons charges, and assault, or had past convictions for significant or multiple misdemeanors,” ICE said.

Of that group, more than 55 refused to leave the United States even after being ordered to or had been deported and then returned illegally.

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Wednesday pushed back against his intelligence chiefs’ national security assessments, saying “the Intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of Iran,” and he defended his own, more positive appraisals of threats to the United States posed by North Korea and the Islamic State.

“Perhaps Intelligence should go back to school,” Mr. Trump said.

Why Does American Media Shill for Islam?

This would include the NYT.
Quote:
A portion of the answer can be found in the materials taught to members of the media by the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ).
Yet, when a reader examines the SPJ’s Guidelines for Countering Racial, Ethnic, and Religious Profiling (“The Guidelines“) – published immediately following 9/11/01 – it is evident the SPJ violates its own ethical principles by guiding journalists to submit their reports to third parties with interests in conflict with the truth.

For example, journalists/reporters are encouraged by SPJ to “portray muslims…in the richness of their diverse experience.” This sound more like telling a story and less like objective reporting.

It is whitewashing in all it glory and so far from the truth it is dangerous.
Quote:
The U.S. media, for nearly 18 years has lied to the American public and failed to conduct a simple investigation of the basic teachings of Islam. A glance into children’s textbooks used in U.S. Islamic schools reveal muslims teach their children exactly what the Islamic State and Al Qaeda state are duties and requirements of muslims in Islam.

@Baldimo,
I haven't "explained" anything.

Huxley offers a description in about a hundred words which applies to neither the granfalloons of the left nor the right. The people — the consumers — have made this choice, seduced by the vapid promises of our cultural mythology which we persist in calling the "American dream". Educational standards have been watered down, workers' jobs have been "de-skilled", infrastructure has been allowed to decay, our current government weakens environmental and consumer safety laws and offers us some silly version of "freedom" where access to weapons is deemed more important than access to clean air and safe drinking water. I hardly have to draw attention to the opioid problem, the epidemic of obesity, and the rise of the anti-vaccination movement, all signs of an underlying sickness independent of your obsolete political categories.

You mention "thought" and "face" crimes — can you supply any examples? And how is "free speech" in danger?
