Russell Crowe to star as Fox News' Roger Ailes in Showtime miniseries

By Frank Pallotta NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

------------------------

Well, it appears Harvey Weinstein, a Democrat, who singlehandedly started the Me Too movement did not exhibit sufficient deviant sexual behavior to warrant a miniseries. 

Ailes is dead. So how much do you want to bet this is going to be an exercise in Trump bashing.

-----------------------

— Russell Crowe will play Fox News founder and chairman Roger Ailes in a new miniseries for Showtime, the network announced on Monday.

The series, which will run for eight episodes, is based the reporting by journalist and Ailes biographer Gabriel Sherman, who wrote, "The Loudest Voice in the Room: How the Brilliant, Bombastic Roger Ailes Built Fox News -- and Divided a Country."

Tom McCarthy, the director of "Spotlight," will executive produce with Jason Blum, who produced "Get Out." McCarthy co-wrote the initial episode with Sherman, Showtime said in its press release.

"In many ways, the collision between the media and politics has come to define the world we live in today. We've seen this phenomenon depicted on screen as far back as the story of Charles Foster Kane, and it finds contemporary embodiment in the rise and fall of Roger Ailes." David Nevins, Showtime's CEO, said in a statement, in reference to the fictional main character in "Citizen Kane."

Nevins added that with Crowe in the lead role, the series "promises to be a defining story for this era." The series will be told through multiple points of view and will focus on Ailes' rise and fall at Fox News.

Ailes, who resigned as Fox News chairman in 2016 amid sexual harassment allegations, died last year at the age of 77. He's credited with playing a significant role in helping to establish Donald Trump as a credible political figure during the 2016 campaign by featuring him on Fox's programs.

"To understand the events that led to the rise of Donald Trump, one must understand Ailes," Showtime said in its announcement. "The upcoming limited series takes on that challenge, focusing primarily on the past decade in which Ailes arguably became the Republican Party's de facto leader, while flashing back to defining events in Ailes' life, including an initial meeting with Richard Nixon on the set of The Mike Douglas Show that gave birth to Ailes' political career and the sexual harassment accusations and settlements that brought his Fox News reign to an end."

Crowe, who won Best Actor for 2000's "Gladiator," is one of the biggest and most recognizable stars in Hollywood starring in acclaimed films such as "A Beautiful Mind" and "L.A. Confidential" and blockbusters such as "Les Miserables" and "Man of Steel."

Republican lawmaker introduces motion asking for Maxine Waters' resignation

Instead of introducing a motion asking for her resignation research this and put her in jail.

Washington Examiner White House reporter Gabby Morrongiello on the debate over immigration, the increasingly heated political climate.

A Republican Congressman on Monday introduced an initiative to censure California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters and ask for her resignation after she encouraged others to confront Trump administration officials.

Rep. Andy Biggs, R-AZ., introduced a measure calling on the congresswoman to apologize to the White House for “endangering their lives and sowing seeds of discord,” resign from her position and release a public statement saying harassment or violence isn’t a form of protest.

The measure comes after Waters encouraged harassment of Trump administration officials over the weekend at a rally in Los Angeles.

Rep. Andy Biggs, R-AZ., introduced a measure calling on the congresswoman to apologize to the White House for “endangering their lives and sowing seeds of discord,” resign from her position and release a public statement saying harassment or violence isn’t a form of protest. (U.S. House of Representatives)

"If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere,” she said, sparking condemnation across the political spectrum. She later told MSNBC that protesters are “going to absolutely harass them.”

(Well... if this doesn't sound peaceful I don't know what the hell does)

The Biggs’ motion claims that Waters’ statements could “directly and unnecessarily lead to public unrest, physical violence, and physical injury” and that members of the administration have already been harassed in public.

The motion reportedly already attracted the support of five members of Congress. Biggs told The Hill that Waters’ comments do “not become somebody who's in Congress” and that “everybody agrees that it was just highly objectionable what she did.”

"So we just introduced it, we have some co-sponsors, but what she did was to basically incite people to come after and attack members of the president's cabinet,” he said. “And also spread that out to more people.”

Waters has since doubled-down on her comments at a rally, insisting that she didn’t suggest harming people. “Trump is the one who is creating lies,” Waters said during a Monday afternoon news conference. “Trying to have people believe that I talked about harming people. There’s nowhere in my statement, anytime, anyplace that we talked about harm.”

“I have nothing to do with the way people decide to protest. Protest is the democratic way as long as it is peaceful,” Waters added. “I believe in peaceful protest. It is guaranteed to you in a democracy.”

After watching it does the word 'peaceful' come to mind?

This is all they got to offer in 2020.

The Laura Ingalls Wilder Award has been renamed the Children’s Literature Legacy Award due to her 'stereotypical attitudes' towards blacks and Native Americans

Who knew...Laura Ingalls was a racist? Looks like the Libs are back on the warpath. Must be a Confederate shortage. Can't confirm it but I assume Laura Ingalls also used the word nigger in her works because 'white men in blackface' ain't going to cut it.

I guess this means total eradication of 'suspicious' literature to quench the insatiable liberal thirst. This is the list of authors who are walking on thin ice for having used the word nigger in their works.

I'll highlight a few of the well known:

The famed author of the Little House on the Prairie series has been put out to pasture.

In a unanimous vote on Saturday, the board of the Association for Library Service to Children agreed to remove Laura Ingalls Wilder's name from the group's top award honoring children's literature authors over her depiction of blacks and Native Americans in her work.

'This decision was made in consideration of the fact that Wilder’s legacy, as represented by her body of work, includes expressions of stereotypical attitudes inconsistent with ALSC’s core values of inclusiveness, integrity, and respect, and responsiveness,' said the group in a statement after the vote.

The honor will now be known as the Children’s Literature Legacy Award.

Wildin' out: The Laura Ingalls Wilder Award has been renamed the Children’s Literature Legacy Award by the Association for Library Service to Children 

Rob Lowe mocked the controversy on Monday, tweeting: 'Wait... Laura Ingalls Wilder was a racist author? How did I miss that?! Say it ain’t so, Halfpint!!!'

'Administered by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award honors an author or illustrator whose books, published in the United States, have made, over a period of years, a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children,' reads the page describing the honor.

The honor was first given out in 1954 to its former namesake.

Below that is a biography of Wilder, which consists of just two sentences, followed by three paragraphs under the heading: 'Wilder's Legacy, and the Award in Context.'

That section, which is three times longer than the one detailing Wilder's life, states: 'Wilder's body of work continues to be a focus of scholarship and literary analysis, which often brings to light anti-Native and anti-Black sentiments in her work. 

Medalist: The honor was awarded to its namesake in 1954

'Her books continue to be published, read, and widely used with contemporary children. ALSC recognizes the author’s legacy is complex and Wilder’s work is not universally embraced.'

Later, the group stresses that while it will continue to preserve the works of Wilder, it has opted to not associate her name with a prize honoring a writer's lifetime achievements. 

The decision was made as the honor, now awarded annually, went to a black writer for the fourth straight year.

Jacqueline Woodson, the author of Brown Girl Dreaming, was the 2018 recipient of the first-ever Children’s Literature Legacy Award, following in the footsteps of Donald Crews (2015), Jerry Pinkey (2016) and Nikki Grimes.

Past honorees include E. B. White (1970), Beverly Cleary (1975), Maurice Sendak (1983) and perhaps the most famous children's writer of all, Theodor S. Geisel (1980). 

Controversy: The board voted unanimously to remove Wilder's name at their annual meeting over the weekend due to her anti-black and anti-Native writings (the cast of Little House on the Prairie in 1976)

Geisel, better know as Dr. Seuss, is now under investigation himself by the group's task force, along with British bookseller John Newbery, illustrator Randolph Caldecott, businessman Robert Sibert, Mildred Batchelder, and author May Hill Arbuthnot.

The task force is now looking at those individuals to determine if there is 'consistency between the legacy of the honoree-in-name, the purpose of the award, and ALSC’s core value.' 

That group is then reminded that 'these awards fund a majority of ALSC's operating budget and have sponsors, endowments, and/or partners.'

Oh the places: ALSC is now investigating all authors it has named awards for, including Dr. Seuss (above)

The namesakes of a few of the group's awards, including Latina librarian Pura Belpré and Andrew Carnegie are not under investigation per the task force's charge.

Once that is completed and the group has delivered its recommendation to the board, the task force 'may also make recommendations for future investigation of other ALSC sponsored or co-sponsored book, media, professional awards, and scholarships if deemed necessary.'

ALSC Blog Manager Mary Voors wrote on the group's website that the vote on Saturday was met with a standing ovation.

'Woo-Hoo!!!!' she added at the end of her post. 

'It made me so proud to be an ALSC member and a Board Member!' 

This year's annual meeting was opened with a speech from Michelle Obama. 

In Little House on the Prarie, Wilder writes early in the book that out west 'there were no people. Only Indians lived there.'

That line clearly reveals Wilder's belief that Native Americans were not 'people,' and was changed int he 1950s to read 'no settlers.'

There are also a number of offensive comments made about Native Americans by other characters in Wilder's book, while white men in blackface perform for the amusement of others in her books. 

These sentiments did not impact the success of her novels, which are still sold worldwide and were made into a hit television series starring Michael Landon and Melissa Gilbert.

The photos now used to crucify Trump are virtually identical to those taken when Barry occupied the WH. 

Oh, Rachel...

you teary-eyed muff diver. Where were you and the rest of the self-righteous

What a nice touch. I can almost hear the violin.

President Trump Calls for Immediate Deportation of Undocumented Immigrants With 'No Judges or Court Cases'

President Donald Trump said on Twitter Sunday that immigrants entering the country illegally should be removed from the country “immediately” without being granted a court hearing.

---------------------

This coming from Time magazine so "without being granted a court hearing" is liberal code for they deserved one and Trump f--ked them out of it. 

The fact is Trump is dead on. So after Juan and his wife Maria, pregnant with their anchor baby, previously broke the law illegally jumping the fence does anyone truly believe they're now going to respect the law by showing up in court?

Report: 90% of illegals skip immigration court appearances

No worries Juan...they got your back.

-----------------------------

“We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came,” Trump said in a series of two tweets Sunday morning. “Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order. Most children come without parents….Our Immigration policy, laughed at all over the world, is very unfair to all of those people who have gone through the system legally and are waiting on line for years!”

“Immigration must be based on merit – we need people who will help to Make America Great Again,” he concluded.

We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came. Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order. Most children come without parents...

Under current Trump administration policy, all undocumented immigrants caught entering the country are referred for criminal prosecution as part of a tightened “zero-tolerance” policy announced in May by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

That “zero-tolerance” policy spiked an onslaught of family separations since parents who were caught crossing the border illegally were detained under the Department of Homeland Security while their children were placed under the auspices of the Office of Refugee Resettlement. More than 2,300 children were separated from the adults they crossed the border with, provoking outrage around the world and producing a public relations nightmare for the administration.

As anger over the policy reached its peak, Trump signed an Executive Order on June 20 to enable these families to stay together. In a fact sheet released Saturday evening, the Department of Homeland Security said 522 children who had been separated from their families were since reunited, but provided no timeline for when the rest of the reunions would happen.
