Jim Acosta Threw Himself a #Resistance Party But No One Showed Up

Well, practically no one. Some union members paid to be there and act as a Rent-a-Mob apparently turned up.

WASHINGTON--"There are some tickets left," Jim Acosta told his Substack followers a few hours before taking the stage at the Lincoln Theater in Washington, D.C., to host a live town hall version of the online chat show he started after his "voluntary" exit from CNN earlier this year.
He wasn't kidding.
The lineup for the first (and apparently only) stop on the "Fire Within Tour" would struggle to draw a crowd almost anywhere else in the country: Rosie O'Donnell, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Texas), and an assortment of professional Trump haters whose names you wouldn't recognize unless you're the sort of mentally deranged liberal who owns an Anthony Fauci prayer candle and refuses to watch CNN because it's right-wing propaganda. Only the most delirious of hyper-online partisans could stomach the pretentious tagline: "Fueling Courage. Defending Freedom. Igniting Truth."
The Beltway, of course, is teeming with this variety of freak, which is why the lack of turnout on Monday night was so humiliating for everyone involved, not least for the people who actually did show up to have their courage fueled. Venue staff informed a Washington Free Beacon reporter that the upper balcony, comprising nearly half of the venue's 1,200 seats, was closed--for reasons that were soon obvious. Generously estimated, the lower section was roughly three-quarters full--about 500 people. As the night wore on, it became clear that a significant portion of the attendees were either members of a federal employee union invited to denounce Trump, or had personal or professional connections to one of the "performers." Acosta, a fierce opponent of so-called mis- and disinformation, had claimed to be expecting a "big crowd" based on conversations with the organizers.
In retrospect, a large retirement home in the Maryland or Virginia suburbs would have been a more appropriate venue for an event of this nature. At the very least, fewer people would have been able to get up and walk out before the end.
Acosta opens the show with his costar Michael Fanone, a former D.C. police officer who became a professional anti-Trump activist after clashing with protesters on Jan. 6. Setting the tone for the show, Fanone laments, "We are in a tough fucking spot." Acosta agrees. "We are. We are." Fanone hates Republicans almost as much as he loves punk rock and tattoos. He hangs out with Sean Penn and Kathy Griffin. He's not afraid to express his feelings with expletives. House Speaker Mike Johnson is a "petty bitch" surrounded by "cock-sucking colleagues." Not to be confused with the unelected Trump supporters, who are "dick-sucking ass clowns." Acosta tries to change the subject by asking his other costar Olivia Troye, a former Republican who spoke at the 2024 Democratic convention, about the tragedy that has befallen her Northern Virginia community of federal bureaucrats since Trump took office. "It's super upsetting," she says. "And I just have to say to you that the American people, they may not realize it right now, but they will realize it in time, the incredible treasure that they've lost."

Below: The amazing "show."

Below, Jim Acosta attempts some kind of visual metaphor, asking people to turn on their cellphones' flashlight function and wave them around like he's Blue Oyster Cult being called out for an encore. He wants people to remember that they all have "lights" which can penetrate "the darkness."

Then click ahead to 12:30 to see Acosta pass out, of course, "TACO" hats.

Megyn Kelly and Mark Halperin point out that just four months ago, Jim Acosta was a CNN "journalist" who insisted that he was entirely non-partisan and factual.

39 Acosta really is a joke. He tried so hard to be one of the big boys at CNN and couldn't even get a show. Freaking "Tater" Stelter got his own show, dimwit musclehead Cuomo got his own show, but not Acosta. He's the epitome of the anchor on Broadcast News: the face and none of the intelligence, hard work, or talent.

For crying out loud, Keef Olberman got better play on CNN than Acosta. Even his own fellow trump hating far left cranks thought little of him.

Recovering from a ferocious allergy attack. I always get a cough this time of year, but this time really nailed me. My sinuses were so swollen I got a black eye. Otherwise things are great.

Hornet's aircraft did not get in on sinking the Japanese carriers in the Battle of Midway. Sorry, Hornet, your air group's performance at Midway was pathetic. Your first dive bomber strike of over 30 Dauntless dive bombers did not find the Jap carriers. The strike escort of 10 Wildcats got lost and all ditched, far from Midway and the US task forces. About half of the pilots were eventually found and rescued by PBYs. Some Hornet dive bombers flew on the late afternoon strike on Hiryu, but didn't hit her.

Hornet tried, but botched the effort buy setting off in three different directions. The Torpedo bombers found the Japanese but all the planes were shot down with one survivor. The other flights missed and flew on running low on fuel, ditching or landing on Midway.

202 Gref I've already wished everyone Happy Midway Day to all who celebrate twice, earlier.

Hornet sorta deserves to be left out considering what a charlie foxtrot their operation was that day, save of course for their torpedo squadron which defied orders and was massacred like those from other carriers. Fudging the after-action report was the cherry on top, though in a typically great example of forbearance and savvy, Nimitz simply put Mitscher on the bench for a bit but then returned him to duty where he became possibly the leading carrier commander of the war.

I left them out because they did not put a torpedo into any IJN ships at Midway. Not their fault - they flew in very slow, obsolete TBD Devastator torpedo bombers. I'm not disparaging VT-8's heroism or the heroism of VT-3 and VT-6, who suffered terrible losses but not VT-8's annihilation. I was giving credit to the dive bombers, that made the hits that won the battle.

CNN HOST CLAIMS SHE PREPARED FOR US VISIT ‘AS IF I WAS GOING TO NORTH KOREA:’

CNN/PBS anchor and self-styled journalist Christiane Amanpour recently gave a wild, anti-Trump commencement speech at Harvard where she invoked everything from 1984 to Benito Mussolini, but that may not have been the wildest part of her recent trip to America. On her Tuesday podcast installment of The Ex Files—so named because she co-hosts it with her ex-husband, Jamie Rubin—Amanpour declared she prepared for the visit by getting a burner phone because Trump’s America forced her to treat her trip “as if I was going to North Korea.”

Amanpour recalled her horror story, “I have to tell you when I went to Harvard to give this speech, and it was just a few days ago, last week. I must say I was afraid. I’m a foreigner, I don’t have a green card, I’m not an American citizen, I’m fairly prominent, and I literally prepared to go to America as if I was going to North Korea. I took a burner phone, Jamie. Imagine that. I didn’t take a single—not my mobile phone, not my iPad, nothing, and I had nothing on the burner phone except a few numbers, and I could text with my sister...
