Big Name Comedians Rush In Wolf’s Defense After She Faced Huge Backlash From The Media

After comedian Michelle Wolf faced huge backlash for her shameful monologue at the White House Correspondents’ dinner, many famous comedians such as Jimmy Kimmel and Kathy Griffin have shown their support and aligned behind her.

All this happened while almost every American considered Wolf’s jokes to be one-sided and criticized her for being incredibly cruel to White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders.

Jimmy Kimmel posted a tweet saying that Wolf was funny and recommended that the association should hire a juggler for next years dinner.

‘Dear, “the media” – @michelleisawolf was FUNNY. Hire a juggler next year.’ said Kimmel on Twitter.

Kathy Griffin, who was at the dinner, made a series of tweets complementing Wolf’s set and saying that she ‘took no prisoners’ and went after everyone, ‘as it should be.’

Griffin also added that Wolf was hired to do a roast, so she did, and she did it ‘by pushing the line we force people to think differently.’

She went on to say that President Trump should be held to the same standard as Wolf and dismissed calls for the association and the comedian to apologize, labelling them “absurd.”

Griffin also claimed that the media is upset over Wolf’s performance because she ‘told the truth about them last night and the role they played in allowing Trump’s rise.’

Kumail Nanjiani also tweeted on the subject, but didn’t mention Wolf’s name, saying that the administration is being labelled ‘heroes’ for remaining in their seats when they’re called ‘out on what they do.’

Rosie O’Donnell, the comedian who hasn’t been shy about her feelings about our President, called Wolf’s performance a ‘brilliant job’ and explained that ‘truth-telling is required’ when a comedian is roasting someone.

Film and television creator and comedian Judd Apatow agreed with Rosie O’Donnell’s tweet saying that Wolf’s performance was ‘brilliant’ and argued that the WHCD is the time to ‘call out the madness, cruelty, and corruption.’

Late Night TV host Seth Meyers also praised Wolf — who, unlike many others in Washington, accomplished what she set out to do while staying true to herself.

Last Sunday night, White House Correspondents’ Association President Margaret Talev issued a statement saying that Wolf’s monologue was ‘not in the spirit of our mission.’

Aside from the comedians listed above, a large portion of Americans were disgusted by Wolf’s performance at the dinner. She just went too far.

Maxine Waters Claims That ’70 Percent Of Women’ Want President Trump Impeached

Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters appeared on MSNBC on Monday, and said to host Chris Hayes that ‘70% of women who have been polled said that they want him impeached.’

It’s easy to throw out some statistics and act as though it’s the gospel truth. But is that the truth?

Daily Wire made a research in which they didn’t find any pool suggesting that ‘70% of women’ want President Donald J. Trump impeached.

A survey conducted by Public Policy Polling (PPP) in October 2017 found that 55 percent of women ‘favored’ impeaching President Trump. 572 registered voters participated in the poll, which had a margin of error of +/- 4.1%.

A Morning ‘Consult/Politico’ survey conducted at the end of March found that 42 percent of women believe Congress ‘should begin impeachment proceedings to remove President Trump from office.’ 74 percent of self-identified women as ‘Democrats’ said the same. 1,997 registered voters participated in the poll, which had a margin of error of +/- 2%. It should be pointed out that 74 percent of Democratic women is not the same as 70 percent of women at large.

A Quinnipiac survey conducted in November 2017 asked their participants: ‘As you may know, President Trump has been accused of sexual harassment by multiple women, and is currently being sued by one of them in a defamation lawsuit. He has denied all of the accusations. If it is proven true that President Trump sexually harassed this or any other woman, do you think he should be impeached and removed from office or not?’ 65 percent of them responded ‘yes’ to that very specific impeachment question.

A PRRI survey conducted in December 2017 found that ‘women are split over impeachment, with equal numbers supporting (48%) and opposing (48%) it.’

Daily Wire reports, that they called the office of Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters multiple times to verify the statistic she stated, and were told that Rykia Dorsey the communications director, was busy. ‘We emailed Dorsey twice on Wednesday, twice on Thursday, and once on Friday, but have received no response.’

Mike Huckabee Defends His Daughter And Praises New York Times Reporter Who Denounced The ‘Cruel Attack’ On Sarah

Early today former Governor Mike Huckabee defended his daughter Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Twitter, after the vicious attacks on her by comedian Michelle Wolf at The White House Correspondents Dinner.

Mike also praised New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman and all other reporters for denouncing comedian Michelle Wolf’s jokes aimed at his daughter, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders.

Mike defended Sarah this morning on twitter and shared his ‘sincere and heartfelt’ appreciation to Haberman.

He thanked the WH correspondent for having the ‘guts to publicly denounce the vicious, vile attack’ on Sarah at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Mike praised his daughter Sarah for handling it professionally and added, ‘I pray her kids never see that. I pray more they never bully another person like that.’

On Saturday night, New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman tweeted that it was ‘impressive’ that Sarah Sanders remained calm and didn’t walk out when she was attacked for both her appearance and job performance.

During the WH Correspondents’ Dinner, Michelle Wolf likened Sarah to Aunt Lydia from the show, ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ played by the actress Ann Dowd.

‘I actually really like Sarah. I think she’s very resourceful. Like, she burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye,’ Wolf said. ‘Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s lies.’

Mike Huckabee also criticized the WH Correspondents’ Dinner because instead of celebrating the 1st Amendment they celebrated ‘bullying, vulgarity, and hate.’

‘They got all dressed up so they would look nicer when they had a hired gun savagely attack their guests. Do they really wonder why America has no respect for them? Sad!’ He tweeted.

President Trump didn’t attend the celebration because of his campaign rally in Michigan.

Los Angeles Police Officer Arrested After Allegedly Trying to Smuggle Illegal Immigrants Across Border

LAPD Officer has been arrested and federally charged after allegedly trying to smuggle two people through an immigration checkpoint in Southern California.

Mambasse Koulabalo Patara is the police officer from Los Angeles Police Department, who will be faced with violating immigration laws after a federal complaint was filed against him on Wednesday.

Patara was arrested Tuesday morning at the U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint in Pine Valley, located about 12 miles north of the border crossing between the U.S and Mexico.

Mambasse Koulabalo Patara drove up to the checkpoint with 2 male passengers in a 2006 Toyota Corolla at 12:15 a.m. on Tuesday, according to the federal complaint.

While the Border Patrol agents interviewed Patara, he showed them his LAPD badge and told that he was off-duty, the federal complaint states. After the agents patted him down, they found his service-issued gun on his waistband, according to the complaint.

Patara reportedly said to the border agents that his two passengers were citizens of the U.S. But both of the passengers identified as Herman Lopez and his nephew German Ramirez Gonzalez admitted that they were in the country illegally.

All three of them were transported to the Campo Border Patrol Station and arrested the same day.

The people from his neighbourhood in Fontana, were in disbelief.

‘I heard what happened, and I’m really shocked,’ said one woman. ‘They’ve always just been a really nice family ever since my husband and I have lived here. […] There are always multiple sides to every story, so I think that’s important for everyone to keep in mind […] before jumping to conclusions on these types of things.’

‘I just don’t believe that he’s doing that. I don’t believe at all that he’s capable of doing something like that.’ Another neighbour told CBS2.

Patara has been placed on paid administrative leave, an LAPD spokesperson confirmed to CBS2.

If he is convicted, Patara will face up to five years in prison.

Brave Woman Grabs Her Gun, Confronts Robber And Makes Him Flee for His Life

A young woman from Memphis, Tennessee, deserved all the credits for scaring a robber off of her uncle’s property after she grabbed her handgun.

The victims said a man pulled a gun on them, but moments later, he learned he wasn’t the only one carrying a weapon.

Her uncle spoke for Fox13 and explained that the woman and her husband were guests at his home when a man they do not know walked up to them in the middle of the afternoon demanding a phone and a ride.

While they were talking to the man in a blue jacket, they noticed that he had his hand on his waist, where he had a gun.

Both the uncle and the woman were in the house and they heard the confrontation happening with the husband outside. The brave woman then grabbed her gun and confronted the unwanted guests.

‘I advise you to back the f**k up,’ she said. ‘Take off, get the f**k out of here!’

After the man started fleeing the proprty, the woman fired a warning shot in the air. After he gained some distance, the man returned fire but failed to hit anything. Memphis police told FOX13 the gunman ran toward the back of the house.

‘She said she didn’t want to kill him, but when he fired back at us after she fired the warning shot, she said she was trying to hit him then but didn’t,’ said the uncle.

‘She’s bold, she ain’t scared of nothing.’ concluded the uncle.

‘Thank the good Lord he was watching out for all of us.’ he added.

Memphis police said they are reviewing the surveillance video to get a positive ID on the suspect.  If you have any information on who that suspect may be, call CrimeStoppers at 901-528 CASH.

Student Artist Places ‘Cry Closet’ in University Library Calling It ‘A Safe Space for Stressed Out Students’

A student artist at the University of Utah had installed a “cry closet” in the college library and people on twitter are feeling a little weird about it.

Nemo Miller is the artist behind the project, a student at the University of Utah College of Fine Arts, and he described it as ‘a safe space for stressed out students otherwise known as ‘The Cry Closet.”

‘This space is meant to provide a place for students studying for finals to take a short 10-minute break,’ reads the display’s description.

Miller’s art project has five rules students need to follow:

-Knock before you enter

-Only one person in the closet at a time

-Limit your time in the closet to no more than 10 minutes

-Turn the lights and timer off before you leave

-Use #cryclosetuofu if posting on social media

The ‘cry closet’ is completely blacked out inside and it contains a small collection of stuffed animals for students to cuddle.

People were wondering if this is for real? Of course it is folks, in this time of safe spaces and microaggressions, Miller’s project gatheres a lot of attention on social media.

Here are some of the tweets posted about the project:

And while everyone were freaking out over the installation, the University of Utah pointed out that Miller’s display was an attempt at humor — not a legitimate “safe space” for anxious students to use:

‘Well it wasn’t JUST humor. It is an art installation that is meant to provoke feeling, thought and conversation, which the artist has apparently achieved. And, it made us LOL, which can sometimes be the best stress relief during finals.’ wrote the University of Utah on Twitter.

Jackie Larsen, the student who originally posted Miller’s design on his twitter profile, stated that the project ‘cost nothing to the student body or the school.’

The artist, Nemo Miller, still hasn’t made a comment about his artwork.

Ex-NFL Kicker Apologizes For Posting Prom Photo With His Daughter Saying That ‘The Photo Was Obviously Intended To Be a Joke’

Ex-NFL kicker Jay Feely has apologized for posting a photo that showed him holding a pistol while posing with his daughter on her prom.

Jay Feely, Ex-NFL star faced backlash for holding his gun while posing with his daughter on her prom, which as it looks like it’s pretty much obvious that the picture was intended to be a joke.

Jay Feely tweeted the photo on his Twitter account with the caption, ‘Wishing my beautiful daughter and her date a great time at prom.’ 

It appears Јаѕ Feely was referencing a famous scene from the movie ‘Bad Boys II’ with Martin Lawrence and Will Smith.

While the picture was seemingly meant to be a play on the protective dad stereotype, social network users were largely irate over the addition of a gun.

Many of them criticized the message he was sending that his daughter wasn’t in control of her own decisions:

Some were upset over her date being in the prom photo:

However, most of the people understood the reference and didn’t find the prom photo offensive:

Gun rights advocate Katie Pavlich commented that it’s the ‘oldest dad joke in the book’ and defended the picture on the basis that it’s clearly a ‘joke.’

Here’s Jay Feely’s tweet in which the former NFL star is apologizing for taking the photo:

‘The prom picture I posted was obviously intended to be a joke. My Daughter has dated her boyfriend for over a year and they knew I was joking. I take gun safety seriously (the gun was not loaded and had no clip in) and I did not intend to be insensitive to that important issue’ wrote Jay Feely.

Just One Day After The Deadly Accident Another Southwest Airlines Flight Was Forced To Land In Nashville

This Wednesday morning, a bird strike forced a Southwest Airlines flight to land in Nashville shortly after it’s takeoff. This happened just one day after another Southwest Airlines flight had an engine explosion in midair.

Flight 577 departed minutes after 5 a.m. this Wednesday from Nashville International Airport heading to Phoenix, but was forced to turn around just 24 minutes after takeoff after experiencing a bird strike.

FOX17 Nashville reported that the airplane landed safely back at the airport and was immediately ‘taken out of service for maintenance review’.

‘We’ve confirmed Flight 577 departing Nashville experienced a bird strike shortly after takeoff’ Southwest Airlines reported for Fox News. ‘The Captain in command safely returned the flight to [Nashville]. The aircraft will be taken out of service for maintenance review. Our local Nashville Employees are working diligently to accommodate those passengers on to their destination.’

The flight’s forced landing comes just a day after another Southwest Airlines plane engine apparently exploded in midair killing one passenger. The flight was en route from New York City’s LaGuardia Airport to Dallas’ Love Field before it made an emergency landing at Philadelphia International Airport around 11:20 a.m. The airplane had 144 passengers and five crew members on board.

Southwest Airlines flight 1380 made an emergency landing after the crew reported damage to one of the engines, the Federal Aviation Administration reported.

The National Transportation Safety Board stated that a preliminary examination showed that the blown engine had evidence of “metal fatigue.”

During a later press conference, The National Transportation Safety Board chairman Robert Sumwalt said that one of the engine’s fan blades was missing. The blade was separated at the point where it would come into the hub and there was evidence of metal fatigue, Sumwalt stated.

Bird strikes happen all the time and we are very thankful that all the passengers and crew landed safely.
