Prank ni Marian kay Ivana binasag ni Xian Gaza: T*nga lang maniniwala d’yan BINARAG nang bonggang-bongga ng social media personality na si Xian Gaza ang GMA Primetime Queen na si Marian Rivera at si Ivana Alawi. Hindi niya pinaniwalaan ang ginawang prank ni Marian kay Ivana na in-upload sa YouTube channel ng leading lady ni Coco Martin sa seryeng “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo”. Ibinandera ni Xian sa kanyang Facebook account na halatang scripted at drama-drama lang ang ginawang content ng dalawang aktres. Obviously, niloko lang daw nila ang publiko sa paandar nilang prank kung saan nakakuntsaba pa ni Marian ang nakababatang sisteraka ni Ivana na si Mona Alawi. Baka Bet Mo: #Biktima: John Lloyd, Alex pinagtripan ni Maja, pero hindi umubra ang drama kay Aiko Ang tinutukoy ng kontrobersyal na socmed personality ay ang pag-iyak ni Ivana nang tarayan at talakan siya ni Marian sa kanilang collab vlog dahil na-late siya sa kanilang appointment. View this post on Instagram “Tumanda na kami’t lahat eh napa-prank pa rin si Ivana mga tanga lang maniniwala diyan,” ang simulang post ni Xian sa FB. Baka Bet Mo: Alex hiyang-hiya sa nakakadiring prank kay Isko: Sorry po, Yorme! Hirit pa niya, “Alam ko ang kalakaran ng prank content sinetup muna yan with Marian Rivera beforehand kasi win win situation at kailangan din i-promote yung pelikula niya.” Sey pa ni Xian Gaza sa comment section ng kanyang FB post, ‘yung mga naniniwala sa mga prank kay Ivana ay walang ipinagkaiba sa mga naloko ng kumalat na pekeng art card tungkol kay Skusta Clee na humihingi ng third chance sa dating partner nitong si Zeinab Harake. “Ang malupit diyan eh naniwala rin sila na si Zeinab talaga ang nagsabi nung rebut mga certified tanga talaga,” mariing sey pa ni Xian.

The progressives are about as creative as termites mindlessly eating away at the Constitution. It’s pretty bad when one of their tired insults sounds more like a compliment.

Take the case of MSNBC reporter Ali Vitali. She looked like she was about to blow a gasket Wednesday while ranting about Louisianan GOP Rep. Mike Johnson being elected as the speaker of the House.

“He’s Jim Jordan with a jacket and a smile,” Vitali told Nicolle Wallace, host of MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House.”

It sounds like a compliment, right? It wasn’t meant to be.

For Democrat lawmakers — that’s who MSNBC hosts and their ilk take orders from — Johnson is among the worst of the congressional Republicans.

Why? Because in 2020, he “sent an email from a personal email account to every House Republican soliciting signatures for an amicus brief in the longshot Texas lawsuit seeking to invalidate electoral college votes from Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin,” CNN reported at the time.

The Supreme Court, saying Texas lacked the standing to file the lawsuit, declined to hear the case.

You can see where this is all headed. It’s nothing new. As far as the left is concerned, Johnson is an election denier and therefore must be crucified by the media.

Wallace started the segment Wednesday by declaring the new speaker is “way outside the mainstream” on numerous issues, including “democracy.”

“That’s something that when you actually start parsing through the policy comes through very clearly, that this is someone who maybe without the publicity and fanfare is certainly working in lockstep on the same ideological and ethos ideas that people like Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise have been talking about over the course of the last several years,” Vitali fumed.

“He just hasn’t been doing it as often on Fox News,” she said.

Get it? Johnson might be worse than even Donald Trump as far as the left is concerned. He’s soft-spoken, well-dressed, an expert on the Constitution and a decidedly devout Christian. No mean tweets from Mike Johnson. He’s SuperTrump in a Clark Kent disguise.

Vitali was working up to the crescendo.

“The conversation that you and I were having was that it’s part and parcel to the Republican conference platform in the House right now to have anti-small-D democratic values, and so it shouldn’t be striking that the person they put up for this job maybe wasn’t cited all over the Jan. 6 report, though there is at least one mention of him in there, but instead, he’s someone who simply provided some of the attempted rationale for how to overturn an election,” she huffed.

And there you have it. Johnson is part of the Jan. 6, 2021, wild bunch who tried to overthrow the government by filing an amicus brief. The horror.

The Louisiana congressman won the speaker roll by a 220-209 vote in the House of Representatives. That means the Republicans are now unified. No more bickering. Get on the floor, take the vote, get off the floor, new speaker. By the numbers. What fiends.

“I know some people might say it’s in the past, but certainly Jan. 6 and 2020 loom so large over this building every single day,” Vitali lamented.

“And now you have someone in the presidential line of succession who helped with that rationale in a key way that Republican members of Congress were using his legal bases that were, of course, flimsy and nonconstitutional, but were trying to use them as their rationale for why they voted against certifying the election results — I think that’s extremely striking and speaks to where the party is right now,” she said.

Thanks for the non-lesson on the Constitution, Ms. Viatli. If I remember correctly, Speaker Johnson is the expert in constitutional law, not you.

What makes her and the entire left really afraid is that Johnson is a smart guy with rock-solid Christian values. He’s an authentic conservative, and he’s now third in line for the presidency.

Even worse — and Vitiali almost said it out loud — the Republicans, as a party, are unified behind Johnson.

Will it last? Who knows? Let’s pray that it does.

Those on the left will beat their Jan. 6 narrative hype to death just like they did the Russian collusion hoax. They don’t know what else to do except wait for the next crisis — manufactured or not — to exploit.

Whether it’s “Russia, Russia, Russia!” or “Mike Johnson is an insurrectionist!” you can bet mainstream media all will be telling the same story and working themselves into a cowhearted frenzy while doing it.

Any day now, I expect, the left, as a collective, will suffer a simultaneous nervous breakdown.

Until then, they’re as dangerous as a colony of ravenous termites in the frame of a wooden house. That’s pretty dangerous. If we’re not careful the mindless devourers will have us in World War III.

A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

I walked into the office one morning and noticed something strange. Half of The Western Journal’s readership was missing.

It had finally happened. Facebook had flipped THE switch.

Maybe it was because we wrote about ivermectin. Or election integrity. Or the Jan. 6 detainees. Or ballot mules.

Whatever the reason, I immediately knew what to do. We had to turn to you because, frankly, we know you are the only ones we can trust.

Lo storico chitarrista inglese Kevin “Geordie” Walker dei Killing Joke è morto all’età di 64 anni Secondo le ultime notizie pervenute è morto Kevin “Geordie” Walker , storico chitarrista della band post punk inglese Killing Joke . La conferma del fatto è arrivata da persone molto vicine al musicista inglese come Luca Signorelli che ha raccontato in un lungo post di aver ricevuto una telefonata in cui gli veniva spiegato che Geordie Walker era morto poche ore prima, nella giornata di domenica, dopo un ictus che lo aveva colpito mentre era a Praga, venerdì. Walker aveva 64 anni. Poi è arrivata anche la conferma dal batterista degli stessi Killing Joke, Martin Atkins , con un post su IG in cui ha scritto “Geordie Walker has left the building”. Infine è arrivato anche il messaggio della band su Instagram confermando quanto anticipato prima. Geordie Walker è arrivato nel gruppo di Paul Ferguson e Jaz Coleman qualche mese dopo la formazione ufficiale che risale al 1978, mentre Walker è entratoD nel marzo 1979. Ne ha fatto parte dal 1979 al 1996 e dalla reunion del 2002 fino a oggi, è in alcune annate ha suonato anche il basso.

“Is that for me?” a chuckling Jurgen Klopp asked as he entered the press conference room. He was looking at an A4 sheet with the emboldened and sizeable word ‘CONTRACT’ above the Manchester United crest. Below the crest read, “Congratulations on joining Manchester United. Please sign your contract below.” Klopp must have welcomed the levity after bristling at a Scandinavian reporter in the tunnel minutes earlier. The ‘contract’ is a dummy used for youngsters when they receive their first professional deal. Few United fans would publicly care to admit they would have the Liverpool manager in a heartbeat. Klopp may be free in the summer but he will not be available. The nearest he might get to United is if he is summoned for some BBC punditry training across Salford Quays at Media City. Securing one of the most raucous victories against Liverpool does not make the United manager bulletproof. Last week’s news vacuum was filled by the prospect of Gareth Southgate replacing Erik ten Hag. That seemed to go down about as well as that cross on the collar of the new England shirt. READ MORE: Berrada set to have significant say in any United managerial change READ MORE: Sell Greenwood, solve Sancho question, sign a striker – building United’s dream attack No right-minded United supporter leaning towards a managerial change would have Southgate over Ten Hag. United have not appointed an English manager since 1981 and this is not a golden period for Anglo coaches. Southgate and Graham Potter have done laudable work. Not laudable enough to manage the most scrutinised sporting institution on the planet. And so we come back to the issue raised by this correspondent weeks ago: there is not an obvious replacement for the incumbent United manager. Association with Sir Dave Brailsford is not an essential criteria. Brailsford’s wheelhouse is cycling and there is still scant evidence he is a troubleshooter to get to the bottom of United’s troubles. The Ineos group have opted for best-in-class appointments at chief executive and sporting director level. Southgate is not even that at international coaching level. Didier Deschamps. He would be even more ill-suited to United. Every United managerial appointment in the post-Ferguson era has generated general approval from the fanbase. A myopic many were swayed by Ferguson’s endorsement of David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho were proven winners, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was a club legend and Ten Hag had transformed Ajax into a force again. Southgate would be the exception, however much the matchgoers would support him if he somehow strode out of the Stretford End tunnel. Ten Hag was still lingering outside that tunnel gone 8pm eight days ago, posing for pictures and signing autographs. He returned to Hale for a celebratory dinner at Piccolino with his agent Kees Vos and son Nigel. They left at 11pm. A professionally early night of celebrations. While United supporters were floating out of the ground, Ten Hag’s feet stayed on it. He refused to get swept up in the emotion with the dust yet to settle. “For me, winning the trophy is more important than one of them,” he stressed. “One of them” was the understatement of the season. Eight days after an uninspiring and risk-aversive win against Everton, Ten Hag looked like a United manager, in his tailored Paul Smith suit, and acted like one as he strove to salvage the season. United are operating under the working assumption Ten Hag will be in charge next season. He has been involved in planning for the pre-season tour and recruitment. If he wasn’t, something would be amiss. Van Gaal told Michael Carrick he would not get a new contract in early May 2016. Thirteen days later, Van Gaal was sacked. Carrick stayed. That makeshift back four against Liverpool was practically a homage to United’s midfield quartet in the FA Cup quarter-final against Arsenal 13 years earlier. Dalot, Fernandes, Maguire and Antony are worthy of mention in the same breath as the Da Silvas, Gibson and O’Shea. Maguire, purportedly a defensive substitution, was one of the biggest attacking assets. Strategy underpinned United’s recovery but their triumph was fuelled by emotion and desire. The 32nd-minute gap between the defence and the midfield, so distant they were almost in different timezones, and the 40-minute meandering before the unlikely twist of a right-footed Antony equaliser corroborate that. The victory did not spare Ten Hag of mention on the back pages over the coming days but United do not have decision-makers akin to the populist Ed Woodward. Woodward was mobbed by supporters, urging him to reward Solskjaer, at Charles de Gaulle Airport the morning after United beat Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League in March 2019. Two results ensured Solskjaer permanently relocated to Manchester: beating Tottenham, thus seeing off the threat of Mauricio Pochettino. And that night in Paris. The latter defied belief. United were 0-2 down on aggregate at kick-off and deprived of 10 senior players through injury. Progression was secured via a contentious added-time penalty that enabled United to prevail through the now-scrapped away goals rule. Gary Neville asked Solskjaer where he would like his statue to be built. Budding technical director Rio Ferdinand urged United to “let him write whatever numbers” on a contract. Ferguson and Eric Cantona entered United’s dressing room in the Parc des Princes. The giddiness was natural. Only United did not have an objective and emotionally detached sporting director to take a step back and advise Woodward to delay any appointment until the end of the season. Solskjaer was inevitably and officially upgraded from caretaker to permanent manager less than three weeks later. United won two of their final 10 games and were dismissed 4-0 on aggregate by Barcelona in the quarter-finals. The PSG result was United’s last win in a Champions League knockout tie and that was five years ago. The season ended with Klopp lifting the European Cup. That was for him.
