‘Roseanne’ Has Been Canceled — But Tim Allen Is Ready to Lead the Way for Conservative TV

Comedian Roseanne Barr is always and forever stirring up controversy, and now it’s come back to bite her. The actor’s latest jab — comparing the appearance of a former Obama staffer to a character on “Planet of the Apes” — led Tuesday to the cancellation of her recently rebooted eponymous sitcom.

While Barr herself — as well as Sara Gilbert, the show’s executive producer and the architect behind the wildly successful revival — is the day’s biggest loser, comedian Tim Allen is sitting high on the hog.

“Roseanne” was canned Tuesday after Barr tweeted that Valerie Jarrett, who served as an adviser to former President Barack Obama, is what would result if the Muslim Brotherhood and the “Planet of the Apes” movies “had a baby.”

Barr eventually apologized for the comment, tweeting:

But the damage was already done. After a couple of hours of deliberation — as well as a reprimand from Gilbert herself — ABC Entertainment decided to halt production on the popular sitcom about a middle-class family in Illinois.

Network president Channing Dungey described Barr’s tweets as “abhorrent, repugnant, and inconsistent with our values.”

So where does this leave Allen?
But had it not been for the short-lived, one-season reboot of “Roseanne,” Allen’s popular sitcom “Last Man Standing” might not have been revived after ABC canceled it in 2016 despite six highly rated seasons.

Though Fox executives were already interested in bringing back “Last Man Standing,” the network told reporters earlier this month Fox was “emboldened” by the incredible ratings success of “Roseanne.”

The two shows — “Roseanne” and “Last Man Standing” — both drew from the same conservative audience. Both Barr’s eponymous character and Allen’s character, Mike Baxter, espoused conservative worldviews.

Allen certainly has Barr to thank for the resurgence of politically conservative sitcoms, and with “Roseanne” out of the way, he’s entering a wide-open market — no longer does he have to compete with the dropped ABC show.

So while you might be mourning the end of “Roseanne,” have no fear, “Last Man Standing” is, well, still standing.

Rosie O’Donnell Calls for Trump Assassination… REGRETS IT IMMEDIATELY!

Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump have been engaged in a bitter feud for over a decade. Rosie’s hatred for Trump has only escalated since he became president, but this week, she took things way too far when she called for him to be assassinated. It didn’t take long for Rosie to learn that she’d made a huge mistake… Mad World News reported that Rosie took to Twitter on Saturday to endorse a ridiculous new game called Push Trump Off A Cliff Again. The despicable game allows players to kill Trump by pushing him off a cliff. Push Trump Off A Cliff Again https://t.co/YguB3aG8EP — ROSIE (@Rosie) July 15, 2017 The virtual game instructs players to “Take out your frustrations with [the] President by pushing him off a virtual cliff, or into a virtual volcano.” An image of Trump screams things like “Bye!” and “I’m really rich!” as he tumbles to his death. Twitter users immediately fired back at Rosie and let her know that simulating the assassination of the president is never okay. Bett

WALSH: Yes, Ilhan Omar’s Alleged Adultery Matters. Here’s Why.

According to court documents, Rep. Ilhan Omar allegedly had an affair with a married DC consultant. The wife of Omar’s alleged lover made the claims in divorce filings, insisting that her marriage was ultimately destroyed by the tryst between the congresswoman and her husband. Previous reports claimed that Omar “dumped” her own husband earlier in the summer. Conventional modern wisdom would tell us that the only newsworthy and relevant aspect of this salacious story is the possible abuse of campaign funds, as reported by the Washington Examiner: Omar’s alleged paramour, Tim Mynett, has been a fundraising consultant for Omar’s 2018 and 2020 campaigns… …Of the $145,406 reported earnings by the E Street Group during the 2018 campaign cycle, $62,674 came from Omar’s campaign. Not counting payroll taxes and transfers to Minnesota’s Democratic Party, E Street Group was Omar’s second-largest vendor, according to FEC data. From Labor Day through the end of the year, E Street Group ate up mo

Newly Declassified FBI Materials Show Bureau Treated Clinton, Trump Campaigns Differently On Foreign Interference

FBI documents and communications that were recently declassified show the bureau treated foreign interference on Hillary Clinton’s campaign differently than it did with President Donald Trump’s campaign. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released the documents on Sunday with a lengthy statement about the contents: There was a clear double standard by the Department of Justice and FBI when it came to the Trump and Clinton campaigns in 2016. These newly released documents indicate that a foreign government was trying to influence the Clinton campaign through a campaign associate and the FBI was seeking a FISA warrant. However, the Bureau, as it is supposed to do, required that Hillary Clinton be defensively briefed about the matter so she could engage in corrective action. When it came to the Trump campaign, there were four counterintelligence investigations opened against Trump campaign associates. Not one time was President Trump defensively briefed about th
