This scoop is only coming from one reporter at the moment. Jon Nicosia, formerly at IJR and Mediaite, said he had a source about a coming round of reshuffling at MSNBC in which Joy Reid would be losing her current 7pm show

The acquittal of the Colston Four sets a scary precedent.
So if you’re woke, you can do anything you want? That’s the message that has been sent by today’s acquittal of the Colston Four, the four hip, white middle-class young adults who have got off scot-free for their vandalism of the statue of the 17th-century slave trader, Edward Colston. It’s virtually official now: if you’re a self-righteous possessor of correct opinion, you can get away with things that other people would never get away with. Knock yourselves out. Tear down statues, rip up old monuments, violently redecorate public displays that offend you. The criminal-justice system won’t mind. Your sanctimonious glow will protect you from the kind of punishments that would be visited upon other, less woke citizens if they tried the same thing.
Omicron has been a drag for New Yorkers, but not for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The far-left lawmaker (D-NY) was spotted maskless once again in Florida, this time at a packed drag bar in Miami — as the Big Apple continued to be hammered by record-high numbers of COVID-19 cases and faces an indoor mask mandate for one more month.
Stacey wrote an excellent piece on the leftists’ fascist trend toward shutuppery. In short, and as Andrew Klaven insightfully notes, since today’s left has lunged into anti- and un-American ideology and policy that the American people resoundingly reject, the “transformational” left has become completely intolerant of any challenge to their radical, destructive, racist, and economy-destroying policies.
As Joe “I am the Democratic Party” Biden flails and fails at literally everything, as their commie BBB boondoggle crashes and burns (thank you, Joe Manchin), and as American voters from indies to Hispanics reject the radical Democrat agenda, you can just see the long, silent scream and feel the foot stompy, pudgy fist pounding “shutup, shutup, shutup” from the emotionally-stunted, incessantly angsty, perpetual teenagers of the radical left.
It is a curious irony that the West’s leading progressive icon is probably the most authoritarian leader in the free world today. Since sweeping to power in 2017, the New Zealand prime minister has been repeatedly lauded by the London intelligentsia as the ideal model of a liberal, centrist premier. This is despite the blessed Jacinda’s stock response to every public policy crisis being to restrict or ban the offending phenomena in question. After Christchurch it was guns; for Covid it was lockdowns, with bans on the unvaccinated. Now Ardern has stumbled onto the solution to smoking: why not simply ban cigarettes?
On April 19, 2021, McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski suggested in a text to Chicago’s mayor that the parents of two children recently killed in Chicago’s gang activity had “failed those kids.” Kempczinski’s text became public in November 2021, prompting widespread accusations of racism and calls for his resignation. Kempczinski confessed to his white privilege and apologized profusely for holding parents responsible for the fate of their children.
She thought she was a queen, but she was only a pawn.
The end of the Obama era renewed the civil war between the Democrat establishment and the Socialist insurgents. Hillary Clinton, the establishment woman whose loss to Obama had inaugurated 8 years of insurgent rule, faced down a new challenge from the Sanders insurgency.
Kyle Rittenhouse lashed out against NBA star LeBron James for poking fun at his tearful testimony during the Kenosha shooting trial on Twitter last month.
Rittenhouse, 18, who was dramatically acquitted in the shooting of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber during a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year, appeared on the You Are Here conservative podcast on Monday, when the hosts began bashing James.
During the trial, the Lakers player mocked Rittenhouse for breaking down while giving testimony. In a Twitter post, he wrote: ‘What tears? I didn’t see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court.’
The left lost control of their narrative of the “White supremacist” “active shooter” “murderer” Kyle Rittenhouse in the face of overwhelming factual evidence of self-defense. So leftists did what they do best (or worst): double down. Racism! White supremacy! No justice, no peace!
The right’s reaction to the left’s reaction to the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict ranges from ridicule to confusion. How can the left and MSNBC, CNN, and the New York Times — but I repeat myself — claim anti-black racism and white supremacy in a case in which all of the principals — aggressors, victims, shooters, shot, judge, jury, prosecutors, and defense attorneys — are white?
So, we finally have an answer to the largely rhetorical question of whether England’s oh-so-woke football players will take the knee against Qatar during the World Cup there next year. Whether these hyper-aware, rainbow laces-wearing, injustice-hating sportsmen will make some kind of physical gesture to register their concern about Qatar’s institutionalised misogyny, homophobia and mistreatment of migrant workers. The answer, in essence, is: ‘Maybe. We’re not sure. It’s complicated. And also the UK does a lot of business with Qatar, so we don’t want to piss them off too much.’ So principled!
The “not guilty” verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial has really brought out the worst in the already unhinged left. We keep saying it, because it keeps on happening. On Friday night, during “The Last World with Lawrence O’Donnell,” fill-in host Zerlina Maxwell discussed the verdict with Derrick Johnson, the president and CEO of the NAACP. During the show, Johnson claimed the verdict was “worse than the Emmett Till trial.”
Democrats know this. How could they not? Preppy hedge-fund executive Glenn Youngkin just took more than 70 percent of the vote in 45 rural counties in Virginia to nudge past Terry McAuliffe. That wasn’t because Youngkin was wildly charismatic or because Trump had endorsed him. It’s because blue-collar white voters believe Democrats are deeply hostile to them culturally, especially the progressive wing.
Abbott Kinney Boulevard is a picture-perfect hidden gem in the Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles, known for its boutique shops and locally-owned dining joints. The mile-long strip sings to the tune of upper-middle-class patrons who come to Venice Beach to soak in its peculiar rhythm. The neighborhood’s tight-knit community of homeowners who have lived in the area for decades are proud to reside in this unique nook of town.
But over the last year, the community within this stretch of Venice grew even closer over a common frustration: the growing homeless encampments.

Who knew the life of a multimillionaire sports superstar could be so oppressive?
The first episode of the new Netflix series, Colin in Black & White, opens with former National Football League quarterback and current social-justice activist Colin Kaepernick comparing the NFL Scouting Combine, where NFL teams assess prospective players, to a slave auction.
‘Before they put you on the field’, Kaepernick says, addressing the camera, ‘teams poke, prod and examine you, searching for any defect that may affect your performance. No boundary respected. No dignity left intact.’
