This is the cost at his local grocery store. (I did the research. I’m petty like that.)

Dude could get a turkey *delivered* for $30.

No shock he lied so absurdly. This dude’s shopping cart has never been full of brains or honesty.

CNN right now, wall to wall coverage of potential hostage deal with Hamas, I assume same or similar on MSNBC. Over at Fox, Laura Ingraham just had on Matt Whitaker (yes, THAT Matt Whitaker) to talk about Media Matters smearing Elon Musk/X/Twitter. Priorities...

So...watched a bit of Fox and Friends this morning. They were running down the headlines of the day and believe or not there was the briefest mention of Santos and maybe getting tossed from Congress. I don't watch Fox 24/7, but I swear that's like the first time I've heard him mentioned. LOL Brian Kilmeade pipes in and wonders why he hasn't heard of this before. The gal running down the headlines told him to Google it :biggrin:

But insinuating that the US shouldn't bring an American orphan home because her family supports Democrats is simply disgusting.

cause I had to look it up
Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a major Democratic donor who is under a House investigation for buying Hunter Biden‘s artwork, is also the great aunt of the first American hostage released by Hamas during the cease-fire deal.

Ms. Hirsh Naftali‘s great niece, 4-year-old Abigail Mor Edan, was also the youngest U.S. hostage released by Hamas when she was set free on Sunday.

This morning on Fox & friends: the three vile weekend hosts were talking about docs cases of tfg and Biden. No comparison, since tfg had authority to declassify - yes, that was stated as truth by Campos Duffy. But Biden! He didn't have authority to reclassify his confidential senate and VP files!

Later on, they're talking to some guy attending climate summit (ha wasn't a Fox contributor to the best of my knowledge). Another one on Fox blowing Kamala, but this was done so badly (multiple times), I swear he was saying Camilla.

AGs fed up with NYT, CNN Hamas coverage issue stern warning: ‘Follow the law’

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/republ ... s-coverage
More than a dozen state attorneys general signed a letter to media outlets such as the New York Times and Reuters, putting them "on notice" that providing material support to terrorist organizations such as Hamas is illegal, Fox News Digital exclusively learned.

"We will continue to follow your reporting to ensure that your organizations do not violate any federal or State laws by giving material support to terrorists abroad. Now your organizations are on notice. Follow the law," 14 state attorneys general stated in a letter to the chiefs of CNN, The New York Times, Reuters and The Associated Press on Monday afternoon.

Republican Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird spearheaded the letter, which detailed concerns that journalists embedded with Hamas may actually have deep connections with the terrorist organization "and may have participated in the October 7 attack."

"Reporting credibly alleges that some of the individuals that your outlets hire have deep and troubling ties to Hamas—and may have participated in the October 7 attack. In the wake of those alarming reports, some of you have cut ties with these so-called journalists whose connections to terror groups have become too obvious to hide. Good. But one factor in determining whether an organization has provided material support for terrorism is that it be ‘knowing,’" the letter states.

Comer Tells Newsmax, ‘I’ve Quit Going on Fox & Friends Because of Doocy’

Charlie Nash
Dec 12th, 2023, 10:52 pm

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) told Newsmax host Eric Bolling that he stopped going on Fox News’ Fox & Friends because of co-host Steve Doocy.

During an interview with Comer about his House investigation into President Joe Biden on Wednesday, Bolling said, “Forget the Democrats like Dan Goldman who say there’s no evidence. My concern is when the media, especially the conservative media, starts siding with the Bidens. Listen to Steve Doocy over at Fox saying you don’t have evidence.”

Bolling then played a clip of Doocy saying, “The Republicans at this point don’t have– they have a lot of ledgers and spreadsheets, but they have not connected the dots. They’ve connected the dots, the Department of Justice did on Hunter, but they have not shown where Joe Biden, you know, did anything illegally.”

I find this very disturbing.
Fox News host Kilmeade defends Trump on ‘poisoning the blood of our country’ remarks

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade defended former President Trump’s comments over the weekend in which he said immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” remarks that have earned widespread rebuke.

“He was talking about the border. He was talking about people coming from other countries, coming from prisons. And they wanted to focus on all the Sunday shows, Lawrence, on the word he used, ‘poison,’” Kilmeade said of Trump. “He’s just trying to say we want to keep America, America. We want to build up the border and find out who’s coming in and out. And they tried to say that this language was the problem.”

Kilmeade’s comments Monday morning were first highlighted by Mediate.

Trump, during a campaign event over the weekend, railed against immigration policies set forth by the Biden administration and claimed millions of people are entering the country illegally and “poisoning the blood of our country.”

Critics quickly drew comparisons to Adolf Hitler, who used similar rhetoric, with President Biden’s campaign accusing him of “parroting” the infamous dictator.

The former president’s comments come after he was asked directly by Fox News host Sean Hannity if he would act like a dictator himself if he were elected president again, answering “only on day one,” before saying his first goals would be to seal the southern border and ramp up efforts by the U.S. to drill for oil.

Kilmeade said leading Democrats and media figures are trying to make people “fearful” of a second Trump term so they will “hold their nose” and vote for Biden.

Bedside Hitler? That language isn't a coincidence.
