ABC’s Plan to Reboot ‘Roseanne’ WITHOUT ROSEANNE BARR Has Fans FUMING MAD

The hypocrisy is the cesspool known as Hollywood is sickening….and nowhere is it on greater display, than with the recent cancellation of Roseanne’s reboot sitcom.
ABC immediately pulled the plug on the wildly popular “Roseanne” sitcom after a tweet the star wrote, attacking a former Obama top aide.
The following day, trashy and low-rated late-night talk show host Samantha Bee took to the airwaves and accused Ivanka Trump of having a sexual relationship with her father, and then called her a “feckless c*nt.”
Of course, nothing happened to Bee – oh, well, she did get an award for her amazing contributions to society the next day.
Now, the buffoons at ABC are planning to reboot the reboot, only this time, “Roseanne” will not include ROSEANNE.
When fans heard abut this “brilliant” idea, they let ABC know exactly how they felt.
Three days after ABC threw comedian Roseanne Barr under the bus Tuesday, cancelling her top-rated sitcom over a “racist” remark she had posted to Twitter about a former Obama administration official, word broke that the network wants to revive her show without her — partly because of financial reasons.
Sources familiar with the inner-workings at ABC informed Variety magazine that the network’s head honchos want to re-brand “Roseanne” by eliminating Barr’s character and refocusing the plot on the character’s daughter, Darlene.
But the unnamed sources warned that reviving “Roseanne” could stir up additional drama for the network. Depending on the exact terms of Barr’s contract, the production company behind her sitcom may have to buy out her stake.
“One big problem to overcome is the fact that Barr has a significant financial interest in the series, and there is concern that a new iteration that would benefit her financially would be a non-starter for everyone involved,” Variety noted.
The irony is that part of the reason ABC is so desperate to revive “Roseanne” is because of all the money it owes to the show’s actors, writers and producers.
“Key actors are said to have a minimum 10-episode guarantee for Season 2, which had an initial order of 13 episodes,” Variety reported. “The highest echelon of writers and producers also have some minimum episodic guarantees.”
What ABC doesn’t seem to be factoring into its potential plans is whether or not any of the sitcom’s fans would tune in to watch a Barr-less rebrand.
As it stands, a number fans have pledged to boycott ABC over what they perceive to be its glaring double standards and hypocrisy:

Some, including black political commentator Larry Elder, have also argued that Barr’s “racist” remark about former President Barack Hussein Obama’s senior adviser, Valerie Jarrett, wasn’t actually racist, let alone worthy of her show being cancelled.
In a tweet posted Wednesday, Elder noted that liberal comedian Bill Maher — the host of the HBO talk show “Real Time with Bill Maher” — once suggested President Donald Trump is “the spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan.”
Yet “Real Time with Bill Maher” remains on air, as does “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee,” a late-night TBS show whose host described the president’s daughter as a “feckless c–t” this week. But when Barr compared Jarrett to an ape from “Planet of the Ape” all hell broke lose.
BREAKING News Out Of China… U.S. NAVY ON HIGH ALERT!!! LOOK WHY!

The Chinese government newspaper Global Times said on Thursday that the nation is intent on making “full preparations and strategic arrangements for long-lasting contention” with the United States in the South China Sea, Breitbart reports.
The South China Sea as an arena for strategic competition between China and the US is difficult to cool down in the short term. It’s very likely to heat up more in the future. China must make full preparations and strategic arrangements for long-lasting contention with the US in the area, the Global Times wrote.
China needs to stabilize its relations with other South China Sea claimants, especially Vietnam and the Philippines, and continue to manage and control differences with them to avoid sharp conflicts. Development should be maintained as the theme for the region. Doing so can reduce the excuses employed by the US and its allies to intervene in the region.
China must build up its capacities so that it can launch a powerful counterstrike if the US adopts extreme intervention in the South China Sea. In addition to deploying defensive weapons on the islets and reefs, China needs to build a strong deterrence system consisting of mobile naval, land-based and air-based forces to ensure it is able to hit back against any challenges in a showdown.
China should deal with US military provocations with confidence and patience. The US preoccupation with freedom of navigation in the South China Sea will wield little influence over China as navigation in the waters has never been interrupted. ~ China Global Times State News.
ABOARD A MILITARY AIRCRAFT — Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Tuesday that the U.S. would confront behavior out of step with international law, in response to a question about U.S. defense policy towards China’s increasing deployment of military weapons on territories in the South China Sea that are claimed by multiple nations. RWT ALCON REPORT
People have forgotten that China is a communistic nation and they have long hated the United States. This conflict has been coming for a long time and it is high time we stop allowing China to “save face” because all that has allowed is China to do as they please and ready their military in the South China Sea.

BREAKING News Out Of California… GET THE HELL OUT NOW!!! LOOK WHAT THEY JUST DID!

California Governor Jerry Brown signed two bills that will force water districts and municipalities to permanently adopt even more aggressive water rationing level than during the state’s 5-year drought, Breitbart reports.
Although he declared an end to California’s historic five-year drought last year, Gov. Jerry Brown on Thursday signed two new laws that will require cities and water districts across the state to set permanent water conservation rules, even in non-drought years, Mercury News reports.
Failure by any water district or municipality to meet its 2027 mandatory water rationing goals may result in $1,000 per day fines in normal years and $10,000 a day during inevitable drought emergencies.
“Water has become a paramount concern as the BIA attempts to address San Bernardino County’s estimated housing shortage of 65,000 units,” said Carlos Rodriguez, chief executive officer of the BIA Baldy View Chapter in a prepared statement.
Orange County Water District, the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts and the Water Replenishment District of Southern California all are recycling wastewater and adding it to ground water, where wells pump water, and after further treatment it is served to residential and business customers through existing pipelines.
The legislation establishes an indoor, per person water-use goal of 55 gallons per day starting in 2022, an amount that will gradually be dialed down to 50 gallons per day starting by 2030. Targets for outdoor water use will be set differently for each area taking into account factors like the local precipitation and climate zone.
Water conservation director for the Natural Resources Defense Council Tracy Quinn said that the combined daily indoor and outdoor water use has already dropped from 109 gallons a day in 2013, to about 90 gallons a day in 2017.
Supporters said the two bills — Assembly Bill 1668 and Senate Bill 606 — are designed to overhaul California’s approach to managing water.
Californians coped with the most severe drought in the state’s modern history from 2012 through 2016. Brown declared the emergency over in April 2017 after one of the wettest winters on record refilled reservoirs across the state. Ventura Star News

US Marines Annihilate RECORD Number of Taliban Leaders Last Night! BURN IN HELL

Since President Trump took office the fight against global terrorism, specifically the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL), has been ramping up. Unlike the last administration that took a more hands-off approach, the current administration is collecting win after win against these terrorists. The most recent headcount that was reported after an American offensive move will have some leaping for joy knowing that many fewer terrorists are out there roaming the world.
In January of this year, the administration with the help of President Trump announced that they are refusing to sit down for talks with Taliban officials. The United States does not negotiate with terrorists. This announcement came right after the Taliban claimed responsibility for the attacks they undertook that k****d 100 people in one attack.
Fox News reported more on the staggering statistics:
“U.S. Marines in Afghanistan k****d dozens of Taliban leaders last week using rocket artillery after tracking them to a meeting in volatile Helmand Province, according to the top American general in Afghanistan Wednesday.
U.S. Forces Afghanistan said more than 50 Taliban commanders, including the deputy Taliban shadow governor of Helmand was k****d. Taliban leaders from six other provinces across Afghanistan were k****d as well in the strike in the Musa Qala district of Helmand, according to the statement.
Twenty other Taliban leaders were k****d in air strikes earlier this month by drones and Air Force A-10 Warthog jets based in neighboring Kandahar, which arrived earlier this year along with thousands of additional American troops.
During a Pentagon press conference from his office in Kabul Wednesday, Army Gen. John Nicholson told reporters the strikes would disrupt the insurgent group the U.S. military has been fighting for more than 16 years.
“Helmand has been the financial engine of the insurgency. The Taliban draws 60 percent of their revenue from narcotics (and) criminal activity,” Nicholson said.
But Nicholson played down the impact the strikes would have nationwide.
“I would not call it strategic significance, but it definitively has a significant local significance in terms of the fight in southern Afghanistan,” he said.
Nicholson’s two-year tour is winding down later this year.
President Donald Trump has nominated Army Lt. Gen. Scott Miller, the current head of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), which oversees the nation’s elite commando units, such as Delta Force, 75th Ranger Regiment and SEAL Team Six, collectively known as the National Mission Force.
Recently, U.S. drones k****d dozens of Taliban fighters attempting to take over western Farah Province, which borders Iran.
Last month, the U.S. military launched the second highest number of airstrikes in the past six and a half years in Afghanistan.
As the ISIS war in Iraq and Syria winds down, the U.S. military is ramping up operations in Afghanistan.
There are roughly 15,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, about double the number when Trump took office — far fewer than the 100,000 deployed by former President Barack Obama.
In April, there were more airstrikes in Afghanistan — 562 — than Iraq and Syria combined over the previous two months. Many of the strikes targeted Taliban drug labs.
But Taliban attacks remain a real threat and persist. Wednesday, U.S.-backed Afghan security forces thwarted an attempted s*****e bombing at the Interior Ministry.
One Afghan policeman was k****d. Five others were hurt, but no civilians were k****d, according to Afghan officials in Kabul.
Nicholson praised the actions of the Afghan security forces for preventing the attack from becoming much worse.
“The Afghan guards immediately recognized these as old uniforms, called on the terrorists to exit the vehicle so they could be checked out, and at that point the fighting started,” Nicholson said, in his first press conference to Pentagon reporters in six months.
Hundreds of Afghan civilians have been k****d in similar s*****e attacks. Nicholson blamed the Taliban, or the Haqqani network — a Taliban off-shoot for the attack on the Interior Ministry.
An ISIS affiliate has taken credit for a spate of attacks against the country’s Shia minority in the past year k*****g hundreds more.
But unlike the ISIS-affiliated fighters, Nicholson said the Taliban is open to peace talks and the Afghan government has been receptive.
Nicholson said the talks have been conducted in secret, “off the stage.”
The statistics speak for themselves. This is a win for the United States and democracies all across the world and for western civilization.
