Snowflake Devin Nunes on the DANGERS of the LEFT and Stephen Colbert MOCKING his ass.



House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes (R-CA) lashed out at “the left” on Fox News Saturday after being mocked by CBS The Late Show host Stephen Colbert on Friday night.

Colbert derided the Fresno Republican as a “failed clone of Steve Carrell” during a trip to DC investigate the dueling memos issued by Intel Chair Nunes and ranking member Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA).

Following Colbert’s “investigation of the investigators” segment, Fox News personality Neil Cavuto asked Nunes about Colbert’s comedy sketch.

“Yeah well, I think this is the danger that we have in this country, this is an example of it,” Nunes warned. “So the left controls not only the universities in the country, but also control Hollywood in this country, and the mainstream media, so conservatives in this country are under attack and I think this is a great example of it, so I hope they’ll continue to do it.”

The United States has an $800 Billion Dollar Yearly Trade Deficit because of our “very stupid” trade deals and policies. Our jobs and wealth are being given to other countries that have taken advantage of us for years. They laugh at what fools our leaders have been. No more!

If the E.U. wants to further increase their already massive tariffs and barriers on U.S. companies doing business there, we will simply apply a Tax on their Cars which freely pour into the U.S. They make it impossible for our cars (and more) to sell there. Big trade imbalance!

I've given her all I've got, Captain...Happy Birthday to the late James Doohan

8 things you didn't know about James Doohan



https://metv.com/lists/8-things-you-didnt-know-about-james-doohan

1. He stormed the beach at Normandy on D-Day.



The Vancouver native was a lieutenant in the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division. His first taste of combat came on D-Day on Juno Beach. Doohan took out two snipers and took six bullets — four in the leg, one in the chest and one through his middle finger. In a story out of a Spielberg movie, the round to his upper body was stopped by a cigarette case given to him by his brother.

3. He and William Shatner almost crossed paths as hosts on the Canadian 'Howdy Doody.'



The CBC created its own version of the popular 1950s children's show. Instead of Buffalo Bob, our northern neighbors had Timber Tom. The role of Tom was first offered to Doohan, who wanted too much money. According to The Big Book of Canadian Trivia, the actor who was cast missed some of the early episodes and was replaced by a host named Ranger Bill — Bill Shatner, that is.

5. He tried about eight different accents when auditioning for Star Trek.



No, Scotty was not actually Scottish. Though Doohan did come up with the character's roots. At a 1989 Trekkies convention, Doohan told the tale of his audition, in which he performed "seven or eight different accents" while reading a page of the script. The actor was quite gifted at accents. Roddenberry asked him which accent he preferred. "Well, if he's going to be an engineer, he really should be Scottish, because Scotsmen to my knowledge are very famous engineers," the actor replied.

7. He came up with the Klingon and Vulcan languages.



In another massively significant contribution to the Trek universe, Doohan vocalized the languages of Klingon and Vulcan for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. He came up with the basic sounds and some words. Later, linguist Marc Okrand would build an entire Klingon language around Doohan's growls and guttural intonations.

Trump called black preacher to scold him for apologizing after posting "Hillary blackface" tweet



A controversial black preacher revealed that President Donald Trump called to scold him for apologizing after posting a tweet showing 2016 Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in blackface.

Pastor Mark Burns revealed the phone call in an interview with The Post and Courier hyping his Republican Party bid for the South Carolina seat being vacated Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-Spartanburg).

“Pastor! Who told you to apologize?” Trump allegedly said in the call. Pastor Burns recounted his apology had previously been requested by Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway.

“Don’t apologize! We don’t apologize! Double down,” Trump reportedly demanded. “Tell them you meant to do it.”
