An #OWS Protest Too Far … Even Bill Maher Turns Against Them, Calls Them D-bags & They Should ‘Get a Job’

How bad has the Obama and Democrat endorsed Occupy Wall Street Movement become … even Uber-Leftist Bill Maher denounces them, calls them D-bags and they should get a job. OWS has lost one of its most vocal supporters.

Bill Maher on HBO’s ‘Real Time’ stated something that many of us have known since the inception of the Occupy Wall Street protests. Mahr found himself agreeing with Newt Gingrich that they should … “get a job.” He then went on to say, “… but now it’s just a bunch of douchebags who think throwing a chair through the Starbucks window is going to bring on the revolution”.

Transcript at News Busters:

BILL MAHER: Let me ask you about another occupation, because this is – and you would be good on this too, panel -, the occupation, the Occupy Wall Street, because similar to Afghanistan, when you occupy anything for too long people do get pissed off. And as I watch them on the news now I find myself almost agreeing with Newt Gingrich. Like, you know what – get a job. Only because, you know, the people who originally started, I think they went home and now it’s just these anarchist stragglers. And this is the problem when you, you know, when your movement involves sleeping over in the park. You wind up attracting the people who were sleeping over in the park anyway.

[Laughter and applause]

MAHER: And I think that’s where we are now with the Occupy movement. They did a great job bringing the issue of income and equality to the fore, but now it’s just a bunch of douchebags who think throwing a chair through the Starbucks window is going to bring on the revolution.

Actually, the reality is that #OWS has been doing this all along, the MSM just never covered or reported the rapes, assaults, murders, pimping out young girls, stalking of children, sexual assaults, vandalism or overall “douchebagedess” of the movement who Time magazine called their “People of the year”. Sorry, but who could have missed that these folks were anarchists and undesirables from the outset as they continually disobeyed the law, attacked the police and simply wanted to cause chaos. Oh yeah, because threatening the police, harming the elderly and threatening to torch NYC to the ground is a positive message of financial inequality.

All the protesters have done is cost tax payer’s millions.

Everyone knew from the outset what this movement was about; however, it has now escalated and the popular opinion of the OWS movement continues to fall and the rats are jumping ship.

Veteran Hollywood Film & Broadway Actor Ben Gazzara Dies of Pancreatic Cancer at Age 81

Another Hollywood and Broadway icon has passed away … Ben Gazzara, Rest in Peace. 

Ben Gazzara, best known for his collaborations with director John Cassavetes, has died at the age of 81 from pancreatic cancer. As reported by NBC, Gazzara fittingly died the same day that Cassavetes did more than twenty years ago. Gazzara had a 60 year acting career on statge, film and TV. The veteran actor appeared in more than 100 film and TV movies.  Gazzara is survived by his third wife Elke Stuckmann, their daughter, and an adopted daughter as well as Gazarra’s brother, Anthony.

Ben Gazzara in “The Killing of a Chinese Bookie.”

Ben Gazzara: 1930 – 2012 … Rest in Peace

From the NY Times:

Ben Gazzara, an intense actor whose long career included playing Brick in the original “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” on Broadway, roles in influential films by John Cassavetes and work with several generations of top Hollywood directors, died on Friday in Manhattan. He was 81.

The cause was pancreatic cancer, his lawyer, Jay Julien, said. Mr. Gazzara lived in Manhattan.

Mr. Gazzara studied with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio in Manhattan, where the careers of stars like Marlon Brando and Rod Steiger were shaped, and like them he had a visceral presence. It earned him regular work across half a century, not only onstage — his last Broadway appearance was in the revival of “Awake and Sing!” in 2006 — but in dozens of movies and all sorts of television shows, including the starring role in the 1960s series “Run for Your Life.”

How could the New York Times not mentioned ‘Road House’ with Patrick Swayze in their list of movie appearances?

Great obit at the LA Times.

Its Back … Artist Jon McNaughton Depicts Barack Obama Trampling The Constitution in “The Forgotten Man”

ART, A POWERFUL REMINDER …

Certain works of art just have a way of resurfacing over and over again … as does “The Forgotten Man” depicting Barack Obama trampling the US Constitution. What a powerful piece of art showing a man sitting on a park bench, representing “We the People,” as he tries to find the American dream as an overwhelming expansion of government is trust upon him. All the Presidents of the past look upon the government of today and Barack Obama trampling on out freedoms, liberty and Constitution.

As the artist Jon McNaughton says in the below VIDEO, actions speak louder than words, as does the brush strokes of his painting … “Mr President, you took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States”. If you have not already seen this video, I suggest you do so.

In front of the White House a man is sitting on a park bench in the throes of depression. He is surrounded by all 43 presidents. In the forefront, purposefully ignoring the depressed man is President Obama, whose right foot is stepping on the Constitution. James Madison is next to Obama, pleading with him to stop.

“For a long time I didn’t know if I wanted to paint this picture, because I worried it might be too controversial,” McNaughton explains in a voice over. “(T)his man (on the park bench) represents every man, woman, and child who is an American… he hopes to find the American dream of happiness and prosperity.

“But now because of unconstitutional acts imposed by the American people by our government we stand on the precipice of disasters,” he added.

The Trump Card … Donald Trump to Endorse Newt Gingrich? Third Party Run? Who Knows (UPDATE: Trump Endorses Romney}

THE TRUMP CARD GETS HIMSELF MEDIA ATTENTION, AGAIN.

The Donald has once again grabbed the media spot light and has announced that he has a a major announcement in Las Vegas today. It is being reported byKLAS-TV8 that Donald Trump is going to endorse Newt Gingrich. The announcement is slated to “pertain to the presidential race, according to a statement from Trump’s office. Gingrich claims he has no idea what Trump is going to say. Man he has a way of continually bring attention to himself doesn’t he.  Just curious, when did Donald trump become politically relevant?

An advisor to Donald Trump says he will make a major announcement in Las Vegas tomorrow. Sources tell the 8 News NOW I-Team Trump will endorse Newt Gingrich.

According to Trump advisor Michael Cohen, “Donald J. Trump will be making a major announcement tomorrow at 12:30 p.m. at Trump International Hotel & Tower, Las Vegas, Nevada… The announcement will pertain to the Presidential race.”

One might ask themselves why would Donald Trump get involved at this point in the GOP Presidential primary and endorse Newt, especially after Gingrich was just hammered in the Florida primary? Doug Powers at Michelle Malkin.com has come up with some plausible reasons why The Donald wants the media attention. Maybe there will be a subliminal message flashing in the back ground that says, “YOU MUST WATCH THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE”.  What are the chances that Trump will make a reference during his announcement that the new Apprentice show begins in two weeks? It is free advertizing after all.

… Trump might also pitch the next season of Celebrity Apprentice while announcing an endorsement for Rick Santorum or Ron Paul. Another possibility is that Trump will announce plans for a new show called “The GOP Candidate Apprentice”…

My take is if Trump does endorse Newt Gingrich, who because of not being on so many primary ballots has more than an up hill climb for the required delegates, The Donald is doing it to set up a potential third party run. Its a win-win for Trump. This was he can say either at the end of the GOP primary, my candidate won, look at me, I am so relevant, I am a king makers. Or if Romney wins, he can then say, I am running as a third party as I do not think that Mitt is right for America and still put himself out there is the MSM limelight. Of course, any third party run by Trump is a victory for Obama.

UPDATE I: Looks like all the so-called pundit politicos in the know got it wrong … TRUMP endorses Mitt Romney. That is correct, The Donald picks Romney. As the Daily Caller opines, there are some with quite a bit of egg on their face.

In the end, The Donald went with what he is perceiving as the sure thing.

From Phil Valentine, ‘An Inconsistent Truth’ … Its the Movie Al Gore and the Green Meanies Don’t Want You to See

A MUST SEE DOCUMENTARY …

It is finally here, opening this Friday, a film by Shayne Edwards and Conservative radio talk shows host Phil Valentine provide us with a documentary regarding the global warming myth that Al Gore does not want you to see … AN INCONSISTENT TRUTH.

Global warming, with no due respect to Al Gore, its hardly settled science. Find out really what is behind the global warming alarmists and those that would want to push through “Cap & Trade”. As we always say … follow the money. Why am I thinking that Robert Redford will not be playing this at the Sun Dance Film Festival or there will be no Oscar nominations for best documentary. Just a hunch.

From director Shayne Edwards and award-winning radio host Phil Valentine, An Inconsistent Truth takes you along for the ride on one man’s quest for the truth. Many people believe in man-made global warming but they don’t know why. This is one of the most important issues of our day yet the average American knows so very little about what’s really going on. Is that by design? Who stands to make billions off cap-and-trade legislation? Why do those who raise their voices the loudest lead the most wasteful lifestyles? Is carbon dioxide really a pollutant or is it a harmless gas that’s essential to life here on Earth?

This movie is an entertaining, fact-filled odyssey that will have you thinking, cheering and laughing. Phil Valentine goes straight to the experts and so-called experts and demands to know the truth. And the truth just may change your life.

Opening Friday January 27 at Nashville, Tennessee’s Regal Hollywood 27 or order ticket at Fandango.com.

Music from the documentary, An Inconsistent Truth … ‘Tip of the Spear’

Actually, I noticed while viewing this VIDEO, that I made the editing cuts

Phil Valentine has been a voice of Conservatism for quite some time. I have had the opportunity to meet him on a couple of occasions. Check out Uncle Phil below at an event from a Tea Party rally in 2009 … its a classic!

CNN Confirms that Casey Anthony will Receive $1 Million in Blood Money for her First Interview

We all knew it was going to happen; however, that does not lessen the sickness we feel in the pit of our stomach …

CNN is confirming that Casey Anthony, the mother who was acquitted in the nuder of her daughter Caylee, will receive a $1 million blood money payoff for her exclusive first interview. As reported at Mediaite:

 … would be receiving $1 million for her first interview since being acquitted of murdering her young daughter, promising updates on where and with whom as soon as that information comes in. ABC affiliate WPBF, meanwhile, is reporting that, according to local Florida attorney Spencer Kuvin, his client “Private Elevator Productions” (a group, he says, of “Hollywood producers who wants to remain anonymous”) has offered Anthony $1 million for an exclusive interview.

Say it isn’t so; however, if it is we once again have the clueless Casey Anthony jury to blame for not doing there job and not comprehending the enormity of their actions. It would seem odd that such a deal would go through at this time. America does not seem over the henious acts of Casey Anthony and hardly willing to forgive. As reported at the Orlando Sentinel,  Jean Casarez of “In Session” reported today that Kuvin had not heard back from attorney Cheney Mason about a $1 million offer to Anthony.

Mason, who will field offers for Anthony, also told “In Session” that Jose Baez no longer reperesents Anthony.

Mason told Casarez: “No one with any authority is attempting to promote Casey Anthony … They are unsolicited and doing it on their own.”

Mason added that any Anthony negotiations will start after her appeal has ended and her probation has concluded.

Seriously, you mean to say that former lead attorney Jose Baez was not shopping a deal to the networks? Really? Really! It would seem quite the hypocrisy for Casey Anthony to duck civil suits and depositions to answer questions and in return shop her interview for dollars. No matter how one looks at this, eventually Casey Anthony will get a payoff and yes, it will be blood money.
