Maxine Waters: Bill 'O'Reilly Needs To Go To Jail'

Devin Nunes Steps Aside from Russia probe

Rep. Devin Nunes is stepping aside from the Russia investigation by the House intelligence committee because (drumroll) he is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for disclosing intelligence without proper authorization.

Here's more

"The charges are entirely false and politically motivated, and are being leveled just as the American people are beginning to learn the truth about the improper unmasking of the identities of U.S. citizens and other abuses of power," Nunes said in a statement, adding that the allegations against him are "baseless."  

Nunes said in a hastily arranged press conference last month he had come into possession of classified information showing Trump transition team members were "incidentally collected" by U.S. intelligence agencies during their surveillance of foreign targets and improperly "unmasked." Nunes made his claim following a late-night trip to the White House where he reportedly met with senior administration officials who played a role in giving him classified information. (Nunes maintains they were not his original source.) Nunes was criticized for briefing the president—who is under investigation by his panel—before his own committee’s members, and Democrats on the panel quickly began to question the independence of the probe.

Rep. Mike Conaway, a Republican, will take Nunes's position as the leader of the committee’s investigation into Russia as the Ethics Committee begins its work. This responsibility will be shared with Reps. Trey Gowdy and Tom Rooney, who are other Republicans on the panel.

Pepsi's Messy Ass Kendall Jenner Ad

Watch this Pepsi ad


When I saw this, I was like... "Really, Pepsi, really?"

This ad was messy and completely tone-deaf. I mean, you basically had this white woman save the day by handing the cops a Pepsi.

Not only that, but the messages all up and through this ad.

• Being pretty and white
• Passing off a wig to a Black woman, basically saying that "She can't help me, but she can hold my wig as "I" save the world.
• White savior
• Only a white woman can save the day

Once this ad was released, it was met the most appropriate backlash. Social media came for Pepsi and their decision to release this ad. And less than a day later, Pepsi pulled the ad.

Pepsi said:

"Pepsi was trying to project a global a message of unity, peace and understanding," said a Wednesday statement. "Clearly, we missed the mark, and we apologize. We did not intend to make light of any serious issue. We are pulling the content and halting any further rollout. We also apologize for putting Kendall Jenner in this position."

Well, hire some people of color and maybe you won't get into this mess again.

Steve Bannon removed from National Security Council

Shake up in trump's National Security Council!

Steve Bannon has been removed from National Security Council and they downgraded the role of homeland security adviser Tom Bossert.

Here's more

National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster was given responsibility for setting the agenda for meetings of the NSC or the Homeland Security Council, and was authorized to delegate that authority to Bossert, at his discretion, according to the filing.

Under the move, the national intelligence director, Dan Coats, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, are again "regular attendees" of the NSC’s principals committee.

Bannon, the former executive chairman of Breitbart News, was elevated to the National Security Council’s principals committee at the beginning of Trump’s presidency. The move drew criticism from some members of Congress and Washington’s foreign policy establishment.

A White House official said that Bannon was placed on the committee in part to monitor Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and never attended a meeting. He’s no longer needed with McMaster in charge of the council, the official said.

Happy Wednesday

Mercedes-Benz pulls ads from Bill O'Reilly's show after Sexual Harassment Allegations

We all know that Bill O'Reilly is a jerk of all jerks. But I wasn't aware that he was a sexual predator.

Over the weekend, The New York Times reported that Fox News and Bill paid out $13 million to women who accused him of harassment: verbal, physical and sexual.

Around 7 women reported unwanted advances from Bill. Seven women! Because of this news, Fox News has been turning over backwards to cover this story, but it's not working.

The effect of this drama has taken flight and the first strike comes from Mercedes-Benz:

Mercedes-Benz has reportedly pulled its ads from The O'Reilly Factor's time slot following allegations of sexual harassment against Fox News' ratings king.

"We had advertising running on The O'Reilly Factor (we run on most major cable news shows) and it has been reassigned in the midst of this controversy," a Mercedes-Benz spokesperson told CNN's Tom Kludt.

The automaker did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I hope there are others to follow suit.

They should call this, Empowering White Women.

Lord, this press release is a joke, but see it for yourself

Today the Republican National Committee (RNC) released a video series entitled “Empowering Women,” highlighting several women leading the Republican party and celebrating the culmination of Women’s History Month.

The series focuses on the challenges and accomplishments women in the GOP have faced, and the advice they would give to the next generation of Republican women. The videos feature Kellyanne Conway, Linda McMahon, Congressman Marsha Blackburn, RNC Chief of Staff Sara Armstrong, and RNC Chief Operating Officer Maggie Boyd.

“For years the Republican party has worked to elevate the brightest and most talented minds to leadership roles, and these impressive women represent that success,” said RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.

“We are committed to working together to engage, educate, and empower women, and to use our voices to drive the conversation as we embrace the next generation of leaders who will shape the future of our country.”

They'll throw in Omarosa for diversity
