So Much Stupid

So much stupid happened in the last 24 hours.

On today’s episode of The Daily Daily Caller Podcast, Michael Avenatti, the lawyer for Stormy Daniels, claimed he wasn’t getting booked on Fox News and insinuated it was because the network was trying to protect President Trump.

Listen:

But Avenatti canceled a scheduled appearance on the network with Martha McCallum, which was supposed to happen today. Rather than reschedule or pre-tape the interview, Avenatti bailed. Then he attacked McCallum for pointing out the contradictions between his claim and reality because lawyering, or something.

What Avenatti and the mainstream media seem to think is the American people care deeply about what he and Daniels have to say, but they really don’t. One of the main motivating factors in voting for Donald Trump, aside from supporting his policies, was the fact that he wasn’t Hillary Clinton. This is what liberals cannot accept. Everyone knew about Trump’s past, whether they knew about the specifics or not, so everything was baked into the cake.

The only people interested in what Trump may or may not have done a dozen years ago are people who have spent the years since the administration of Bill Clinton lecturing us on how none of the personal stuff matters. Plus, Clinton did what he did with Monica while he was president, the allegations against Trump happened so long ago that Twinkies made then have expired.

From the department of corrections, this one from the New York Times takes the cake this week:

That’s one hell of a correction. Apparently no one in the editing process at the Times had ever heard of what has been common knowledge about the Palestinian government for decades.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid is defending herself against allegations of homophobia from more than 10 years ago, back in the dark days when she held the same positions as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the Democratic Party on gay marriage. Liberals not only want to erase and rewrite large swaths of US history, they want to do the same to their own histories. She claims her old blog was “hacked,” but does it really matter? Was what she’s accused of having written years ago really offensive?

Broward County Sheriff and elected Democrat Scott Israel is facing a voter of “no confidence” by the officers who work for him. Turns out the failure of his department during the shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School wasn’t the only time his leadership has not lived up to what is expected of a sheriff.

Speaking of failures by security, Stoneman Douglas student and Second Amendment supporter (which is why he’s not being showered with media attention) Kyle Kashuv was questioned by authorities because he dared to go to a shooting range with his father and posted pictures of it to social media. If only they’d taken the dozens of reports and interactions with the school shooter as seriously as they take tweets by conservative students.

The Daily Daily Caller Podcast is a daily look and mocking of the news from a conservative perspective. Hosted by Derek Hunter, it is available in audio form Monday-Thursday and will have a video option on Fridays.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
