'Like JFK?' Journalists on hot mic reportedly laugh, joke about Trump assassination



A pair of journalists on a hot mic reportedly laughed and joked about former President Donald Trump getting assassinated, Mediate reported.

What are the details?

The verbal exchange took place Tuesday morning as the journalists waited for Trump's appearance at the Washington, D.C., Circuit Court of Appeals on the issue of presidential immunity, the outlet noted.

News cameras were set up between the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia and the E. Barrett Prettyman U.S. Courthouse in anticipation of Trump’s arrival for the hearing, Mediaite said.

A live video feed captured a chat between two journalists regarding the difficulty of getting a good shot of Trump from their vantage point, the outlet noted, adding that the journalists began delving into "gallows humor" with references to assassinated President John F. Kennedy and a convertible vehicle.

Mediaite reported that the first journalist on the hot-mic audio said, "You know what the worst part is? Even if he has his window open and he’s hanging out of it, he will be on the other side of the street."

Here's what followed:

Journalist 2: I mean, if he’s driving we’ve got a good shot!
Journalist 1: Yeah, if he’s driving with the front window open?
Journalist 2: Yeah, or if it’s a convertible?
Journalist 1: Yeah.
Journalist 2: Yeah.
Journalist 1: I wasn’t thinking about that.
Journalist 2: Yeah. Like if he just pulls up like –
Journalist 1: Like JFK? Like a JFK ...
Journalist 2: (laughs)
Journalist 1: Maybe someone, just like they told JFK: "You know what you should do? You should take a convertible. It’s so nice out."

How are folks reacting?

A number of commenters on social media weren't happy with the journalists:

  • "Sounds like someone needs a visit from the Secret Service," one commenter wrote.
  • "Evil horrible humans," another user said.
  • "There is a lot of hate going on," another commenter noted.
  • "Their names should be posted," another user argued.

Why is the 'greatest serial murder ever in American history' being COVERED UP?!



Not sure if you’ve noticed, but our culture has become rather apathetic when it comes to death. It seems we can’t even begin to process a tragedy before the next one strikes … and then the next one.

“We have this culture of death,” says Daniel Horowitz. “We become mind-numb robots at a time of the internet where we should know more than ever,” and yet “we know less than ever; we care about less than ever.”

“We’re gonna talk about a story that should be the greatest crime story of our lifetime, and I’m not exaggerating,” he says – a story that is “probably the greatest serial murder ever in American history.”

What’s perhaps most disturbing, however, is the fact that so few people know about this story.

Between the years of 2016 and 2018, Kenyan national Billy Chemirmir was accused of smothering 22 elderly women to death and stealing their jewelry in several different senior centers across the Dallas metroplex.

But there are likely dozens more who died at Chemirir’s hand – victims who will never receive the justice they are owed.

Despite loads of evidence – DNA, blood, stolen jewelry, break-ins, and suspiciously proximate deaths – Chemirmir’s killing spree went on for two years, but “nothing was done security-wise … [or] in terms of police investigators,” Horowitz explains.

It wasn’t until an alleged victim miraculously survived Chemirmir’s attacks that he was finally identified.

However, Chemirmir has only been convicted of two murders and has now escaped the death penalty. Collin County, a notoriously conservative division, “will not seek the death penalty” despite the fact that “they caught the guy a million times over with every form of evidence you can imagine,” says Horowitz.

“This implicates jailbreak; it implicates the lack of death penalty; it implicates our criminal alien problem we have; it implicates the lack of regard for the lives of our seniors – ageism against older people; and frankly also implicates racism, because particularly the older generation is viewed as mainly white and they’re expendable,” says Horowitz.

What’s even more upsetting is that these tragic deaths could have been avoided.

The crime began long before Chemirmir went on his murderous rampage. He was granted a tourist visa in July 2003 from Kenya but became an illegal alien when he overstayed his visa by several years. Somehow, Chemirmir was able to obtain a green card through a marriage that was likely fake, all while living illegally in the United States.

“Just from an immigration standpoint alone, this guy should have been out,” says Horowitz. According to the law, “anyone who remains [in the U.S.] illegally is not only deported but barred from re-entering the country for ten years, but they liberally created this loophole in law and allowed him to remain.”

Further, before the killings began, Chemirmir was indicted on three separate occasions for DWIs and charged with causing bodily injury to his girlfriend.

“This man should have been deported many times over,” Horowitz says.

But he wasn’t, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. It gets so much worse.

Joining Horowitz on the show are Ellen French House and Cheryl Pangburn, the daughters of two of Chemirmir’s victims.

Together they discuss “the most unbelievable story of all time.”

San Francisco Fed president, who reportedly earns over $420,000 annually: 'I don't feel the pain of inflation anymore. I see prices rising, but I have enough.'



Mary Daly — president of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank — issued quite the jaw-dropper during a Wednesday Reuters interview about our current inflation woes.

"I don't feel the pain of inflation anymore," Daly told interviewer Lindsay Dunsmuir. "I see prices rising, but I have enough."

Say what?

At around the 17-minute mark, Dunsmuir posed a question from a listener who wondered where Daly was "personally seeing the impact of inflation" in her own day-to-day life.

After seemingly searching for an answer for several seconds, she admitted "I don't feel the pain of inflation anymore." Daly reportedly earns over $420,000 annually.

\u201cThe audacity of the San Francisco Fed President of all people to say this. \n\nProbably drives past this on her way to work.\u201d
— Dylan LeClair \ud83d\udfe0 (@Dylan LeClair \ud83d\udfe0) 1659541103

"I see prices rising, but I have enough that I can make substitutions ... I'm not immune to gas prices rising, food prices rising, I sometimes balk at the price of things, but I don’t find myself in a space where I have to make trade-offs because I have enough — many, many Americans have enough," she added.

Recovery attempt?

It appeared Daly then tried to offer a remedy to her rather tone-deaf initial response — given that wealthy Americans don't feel a $2 increase in the price of a gallon gas, or a $4 increase in the price of a package of coffee beans like average American wage earners feel them.

"But ... I recognize what it feels like when you don't have that situation, when you live so close to the edge of your income that [rising] prices actually force some real trade-offs," she offered. "You may not be able to go to the vacation you want; you may end up, you know, instead camping or doing a staycation" or eating at your hotel instead of going out to eat "because you really can't afford getting there and then going out to dinner once you're at the hotel, and I see all of that ... so in my daily life, I see the rising prices, but I'm fine because I have a sufficient income to make those trade-offs. For other people that's not the case, and those are the people that this is so important for."

Indeed, a new report indicates that nearly two-thirds of Americans are now living paycheck to paycheck.

How are folks reacting?

Daly's verbal faux pas didn't get a bunch of attention Wednesday, but some folks who picked up on her "I don't feel the pain of inflation anymore" statement made their feelings known under the Reuters tweet about the interview:

  • "These people are so disconnected from the everyday citizen it is disgusting," one commenter wrote.
  • "Shows how obtuse and out of touch the Federal Reserve is," another commenter said. "What does [Daly] do to justify a 400K salary?"
  • Another user replied, "Tells the rest of SF that they have enough and to stop complaining about prices. Literally she just said this; no satire."
  • "Wow, what a crap thing to say to the average American person," another commenter declared. "YOU who make a ton more than the average person is fine with inflation because it doesn’t [affect] you because you have a lot of money. The GALL of you to say others have enough as well. YOU are now on a national radar."
  • "I feel the pain and so does my family, you elitist jerk," another user said.
  • "You are a disgusting, disgraceful elitist. Quit your taxpayer-funded job so you have to earn a paycheck and not get insider information to make thousands more on the market. You are just pure bottom-dwelling scumbag evil," another commenter wrote.
  • "This useless bag of s**t can f*** right off," another user exclaimed. "You’re useless, you’re not worth 40K per year much less 400K."

Here's Daly during an April interview saying that "we will likely be taking a 50-basis point increase":

Five 'Mission: Impossible' staffers reportedly quit movie after second Tom Cruise meltdown



In the wake of iconic actor Tom Cruise's expletive-laden rant on the set of "Mission: Impossible 7" over crew members' failure to follow social distancing protocols, five movie staffers quit after a second Cruise meltdown, the Sun reported.

What are the details?

The paper said Cruise erupted yet again Tuesday night after news of his first rant grabbed headlines around the world.

"The first outburst was big, but things haven't calmed since," a source told the Sun. "Tension has been building for months, and this was the final straw. Since it became public there has been more anger and several staff have walked. But Tom just can't take any more after all the lengths they have gone to just to keep filming at all. He's upset others aren't taking it as seriously as him. In the end, he's the one who carries the can."

What's the background?

In Cruise's initial rant, the 58-year-old hollered that "we're the gold standard! They're back there in Hollywood making movies right now because of us! Because they believe in us and what we're doing! And I'm on the phone with every f***ing studio at night, insurance companies, producers, and they're looking at us and using us to make their movies!"

He added that "we are creating thousands of jobs you motherf***ers!" and warned, "I don't ever want to see it again! Ever! And if you don't do it, you're fired, and I see you do it again, you're f***ing gone!"

Cruise also yelled that he's trying to protect people's jobs: "No apologies! You can tell it to the people that are losing their f***ing homes because our industry is shut down! It's not going to put food on their table or pay for their college education! That's what I sleep with every night! The future of this f***ing industry!"

Tom Cruise warns Mission Impossible crew they're 'f***ing gone' if they break Covid rules on set youtu.be

More from the Sun:

Cruise, 58, who plays Ethan Hunt and is a producer, has pumped a fortune into Covid measures including hiring a cruise ship so staff can isolate.

In October, he held crisis talks with director Christopher McQuarrie days after 12 people on set in Italy were said to have tested positive.

Since returning to the UK two weeks ago, Cruise has been pictured wearing a mask on set.

"Mission: Impossible 7" is set to release Nov. 19, 2021, the paper said.

Anything else?

Fellow actor George Clooney defended Cruise during a Wednesday interview with Howard Stern:

"He didn't overreact because it is a problem," Clooney said. "I have a friend who's an AD on another TV show who just had the almost exact same thing happen with not quite as far out a response. ... I wouldn't have done it that big. I wouldn't have, you know, pulled people out. You're in a position of power, and it's tricky, right? You do have a responsibility for everybody else, and he's absolutely right about that. And, you know, if the production goes down, a lot of people lose their jobs. People have to understand that they have to be responsible. It's just not my style to, you know, to take everybody to task that way."

ESPN host blasts American flag-waving, dog-loving fans of NFL quarterback Josh Allen — and gets blasted back as a 'racist'



ESPN host Domonique Foxworth got a bit sociopolitical the other day, blasting fans of Buffalo Bills' quarterback Josh Allen as "people with American flags and dogs and skull and crossbones."

Foxworth — a former NFL cornerback — uttered his blatant stereotype during a chat with ESPN's Bomani Jones. According to Western Journal, Foxworth noted that "I am fully aware that I have biases; and my biases are not based on Josh Allen" — and then he proceeded to rip Allen's fans.

Take a listen:

Cancel Dominique Foxworth @espn https://t.co/b8pxTiLYWc
— TheBillsGuys (@TheBillsGuys)1607716612.0

"It's based on the people that are defending Josh Allen. I would be 100 percent lying if I said that when Josh does something dumb, a little part of me doesn't get happy. ... It's because the people who are telling me that Josh is the Second Coming, and Josh is better than everybody are people with American flags and dogs and skull and crossbones. … If you go just take a dip into their tweet history, it's some really concerning retweets and likes. … It's not about Josh," Foxworth said.

Foxworth added that "generally, I'm pro-player, and I'm looking for ways to understand a player's position and defend a player. But in Josh's case, it's not about him. He is the ground on which we are fighting," Western Journal also noted.

It may come as no surprise that the Bills are one of only six NFL teams with a majority of fans who are Republicans, the outlet added, citing FiveThirtyEight.

How are folks reacting?

It also may come as no surprise that more than a few folks didn't like Foxworth's take on Allen's patriotic, canine-crazy fans:

  • "Damn this has to be the most f***ed up sports take I've ever heard," one Twitter commenter reacted. "Is he insinuating that all Bills fans are racist, or am I reading into this wrong?"
  • "Get that racist douche bag Foxworth off the air," another user declared. "No place for his comments ... Imagine if a white dude said something equally disgusting about [black NFL quarterback] Lamar Jackson? Whitey would have been fired immediately! ESPN SUCKS!"
  • "When do people who are sick of hearing elites badmouth your beliefs stand up?" another commenter asked. "When is it enough? How do people get to say such crazy things and no longer suffer street justice or retaliation? Let's [not] let them get away with it anymore. Enough is enough."

Outkick's Clay Travis wasn't letting it go, either:

Mark Levin ridicules Democrat 'goons and kooks' embarrassing themselves on TV

Tuesday on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin took on the "goons and kooks all over TV."

Namely, Levin played audio of "this clown, this putz, this nobody, this footnote to nothing" Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., who appeared on CNN with Alisyn Camerota and accused the president of lying about the FBI spying on his presidential campaign.

Levin tore his sound-bite talking points apart.

Listen:

“You make us all dumber just listening to you drone on,” Levin said of Himes.

Levin also went after Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., who said Donald Trump and "his enablers" in Congress had opened a "new front" in the Russian "assault" on our democracy. He pointed out that it's the Democrats have a long history of being cozy with the Russians.
