   Liberal Democrats, too lazy and stupid to compete   
   scholastically.  This is the result of the present day inferior   
   California school system, once the envy of the entire free   
   world, after 40 years of Democrat control and parasitic   
   socialist union infestation.

   Lori Loughlin has just committed career suicide.   
      
   Her alleged involvement in the seamy Varsity Blues college   
   admissions criminal scandal has forever tarnished her reputation   
   as the folksy face of Hallmark Channel and its vanilla-sweet TV   
   movie franchises “When Calls the Heart” and “Garage Sale   
   Mystery.”   
      
   She’s been a cash cow for the cable network with her top-rated   
   movies, but she’s on notice now. Don’t be shocked when Hallmark   
   Channel casts her aside, dealing a death blow to Loughlin’s   
   career.   
      
   Her fall from grace sounds like the plot of a weepy Hallmark   
   Channel movie that no one would believe, but it’s all too real.   
   In her fictional, TV alter-ego universe, Loughlin bounces back,   
   stronger than ever and ready to take on the world.   
      
   In reality? That won’t happen.   
      
   It doesn’t really matter if Loughlin and her husband,   
   millionaire clothing designer Massimo Giannulli, are eventually   
   found innocent. The court of public opinion has spoken, and it’s   
   come down heavily against the actress as just another privileged   
   Hollywood bottom feeder.   
      
   Don’t forget that Loughlin also co-stars as altruistic do-gooder   
   Aunt Becky on the Netflix series “Fuller House,” a reboot of   
   “Full House,” the ABC series that ran for eight years (1987-95)   
   and rocketed Loughlin (and the Olsen Twins) to stardom. Know   
   that Netflix officials and the show’s producers are huddled in   
   an office, wringing their hands and wondering what to do about   
   Loughlin/Aunt Becky. Know that they’re already thinking of ways   
   to write her out of the series, and know that they won’t mess   
   around. Netflix is all about the money and, like Hallmark   
   Channel, Loughlin will play a part in sinking their bottom line.   
      
   At least Loughlin was allowed to fly back from the set of “When   
   Calls the Heart” in Vancouver to face the dissonant music in LA,   
   unlike her fellow alleged fraudster, actress Felicity Huffman —   
   who was frog-marched out of her house in handcuffs by FBI agents.   
      
   Hallmark Channel officials are tight-lipped, acknowledging only   
   that they’re “aware” of Loughlin’s arrest (duh!) and are   
   “monitoring developments as they arise.” They’re not rushing to   
   judgment … yet. But they will. And it will be sooner rather than   
   later as this scandal unfolds and exposes its seamy underbelly.   
      
   Make no mistake: However this turns out, it’s an enormous blow —   
   on the public relations front, emotionally and (bottom-line)   
   financially — to Hallmark, a network that prides itself on   
   fluffy, family-friendly programming, which it sells (very   
   successfully) to advertisers buying into their bland, greeting-   
   card world of handsome architects, city women fleeing back to   
   their hometowns and finding true love or innumerable sappy   
   Christmas movies. (Loughlin starred in “Homegrown Christmas” in   
   2018.) It’s a world in which crime hardly exists, or if it does,   
   is never very serious — as in Loughlin’s “Garage Sale Mystery”   
   movies, in which she plays antiques dealer-turned-sleuth   
   Jennifer Shannon. She’s made 15 of these “Murder, She Wrote”-   
   type movies so far (they air on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries) and   
   several are in pre-production.   
      
   All of Loughlin’s movies have proven very popular and generated   
   hefty cable viewership (on both networks) for Hallmark Channel.   
   That, in turn, translates to advertising dollars. And when any   
   business feels its financial health threatened, it takes action   
   and cuts bait.   
      
   Loughlin’s career is sunk. Deal with it.
