WOLF!!!
I haven’t paid a whole lot of attention to the twitterpating going on in the media, the WH or otherwise. But it appears to me that the liberal side of the journalistic bench is more interested in trying to destroy the United States government by bullying Trump than they are in reporting the real news.
I think that part is quite plain. It’s six months into his administration and they still haven’t unseated him. It must hurt their feelings that they can’t bully him into leaving on a Friday. Filing and reporting fiction as news is merely one symptom of their spoiled brat behavior. They want to be in control, but are not, and they are showing us how butthurt they are about it. If you can’t see that, you’re not paying attention.
I know how much the lefties despise him, and how much the lefty media really hate his guts. They’re as transparent as glass about it. But the leftist media don’t have to like him. A critic with opposing views is a legitimate stance. It’s as necessary to have critics as it is to have ‘all ahead full’ on the dial.
In a free society like ours, the liberal media have the right, as observers, to criticize his policies and his rather boorish behavior. I wish he’d put a sock in it, myself. They don’t have the right to lie their asses off about him just to get attention and try to destroy his administration. It tells us how desperate they are to get rid of him by the use of verbal assassination and imaginary tales of villainy.
He isn’t Richard Nixon. No matter how much they want to turn him into Tricky Dick, it ain’t gonna happen.
Mr. Trump is a lot tougher than they are or could possibly imagine being. They think he’s as weak as they are. Unless I miss my guess, he’s laughing up his sleeve at them, and letting the rest of us know by all that twitterpating. Since I don’t do twitterpating, I miss that silly stuff unless someone posts it somewhere. He’s making very good use of their own weapons against them and they can’t stand it. It’s the ‘right back at ya’ response. It must hurt to be beaten at your own teenybopper gossipy little bitch game.
The conniving by the leftist media to destroy Trump is a symptom of their growing desperation.. If that weren’t so, would they be making up stories about him and those around him that are obvious fiction, or engaging so heavily in character assassination by publicly perjuring themselves?
They’ve forgotten one simple rule that they should have learned, but ignored or dismissed: in a free country, freedom of speech and freedom of the press do not give them the right to lie about someone and state it as fact just because they hate him, especially when there are enough people watching their nonsense who can easily and quickly debunk it with real-world facts. Those who are checking and debunking leftist media’s reports are the curbstrap on the bit that gets the runaway horse’s attention.
This is nothing more than grade school bullying by a bunch of little kids in adult bodies. Not one of them has had an original idea since they left 4th grade. They are stupid enough to believe their own drivel, and think everyone else is as stupid as they are, which is a massive failure on their part. Their ‘mob action’ is less about reporting than it is about being in the spotlight.
I said several months ago, before the November elections took place, that at some point, the political pendulum had gone as far to the left as it could. I said it would start to slowly swing in the other direction. In physics, Newton’s laws of motion hold true. They also hold true in the political arena. I was right. When Trump was elected, the political pendulum began its swing toward the right and will eventually center itself.
Remember the kid who cried ‘wolf!’? The leftist media are doing a fine job of discrediting themselves with their antics and fallacious reporting. If they do enough fake news reporting, then when one of them stumbles across something real and reports it, no one will believe them.
The leftist media are not paying attention to what is really important: the pending recession that I brought up yesterday. It can put a lot of overpaid people out of work, including them. And frankly, I would not mind seeing a long line of them bunched up behind each other at the entrance to a Depression-era soup kitchen, like those guys lined up in the photo.

Stage 2 can be stopped. Stage 3 may come. We should start a petition to end wasteful spending on that asinine Common Core program and get back to teaching real subjects.
“I said several months ago, before the November elections took place, that at some point, the political pendulum had gone as far to the left as it could.

You don’t see the peak of the current left swing in 2008 and it swinging back in 2010?
Unless something changes, pendulum will swing back left in midterms. I guess this is why I’m so apocalyptic. This is probably the peak of Trump’s power to pass preferred bills through Congress.
No, not the way you see. It began to reach the peak with the Clinton administration. The reaction to his misbehavior was to elect Bush, Jr., and that did not lead to a swing to the right.
The swing to the left topped out with bodaprez until the 2012 election and his shutdown of all national facilities, including national parks that should have remained open. If he was SO popular, why could he not prevent sequestration that caused that shutdown?
The reaction to him and his chosen follower, another Clinton, was the election of Trump.
The political pendulum swing is not as fast as my great-grandfather’s mantel clock’s pendulum. It is much slower, but it is steady, and it is moving slowly but steadily to the right. A blunt, in-your-face, outspoken individual like Trump is the start of it.
No disrespect, but you’re only using Presidential elections as bellweathers?
Democrats won modestly in 1998, draw in 2000, Republicans won modestly in 2002 and again in 2004, Democrats won large in 2006 and 2008, Republicans won huge in 2010, Democrats modestly in 2012, Republicans won huge in 2014, Republicans won modestly in 2016.
Look at midterm gains & loses by President’s party since 1980.
Year President Approval House Senate
1982 Ronald Reagan 42 -26 +1
1986 Ronald Reagan 64 -5 -8
1990 George Bush 57 -8 -1
1994 Clinton D 48 -52 -8
1998 Clinton D 65 +5 0
2002 W. Bush R 67 +8 +2
2006 W. Bush R 37 -30 -6
2010 Barack Obama 45 -63 -6
2014 Barack Obama 41 -13 -9
Average loss for a President below 50% approval is 26 seats. Two samples for Republican Presidents is 28 seats. Democrats need 24 seats to retake the House. Once the House is Democratic, nothing gets out of Congress unless its bipartisan.
Even if you want to be super-optimistic about 2018 being an outlier and inversion of traditional political outcomes, there is no precedent for picking up Senate seats in midterms – even modestly. I know its a friendly map.
My point is no one in the Trump administration should count on getting things through Congress getting easier next year, or after 2018.
No precedent for picking UP Senate seats in mid-term?
No offense meant, but you’re contradicting yourself. Seats lost by one side go to the other side. First of all, senators are elected to 6-year terms, not 2 years as in the House. Second, if there is no precedent, then where do you think those lost House and Senate seats went in your statistics?
Look at the pickups.
Bush was very popular in 2002. Around mid term time Bush 2 had about a 70% approval rating. This is really high. After 9/11 Bush showed strength, resolve and moral courage.
Now we have Trump. I don’t think he is the albatross the left thinks he is. The last three elections have shown that. But he is not showing any of the above traits either. Success will come from separating from the President and letting him be the lightning rod. He is already anyway. Let the media exhaust themselves on him.
I agree, Old Maj, but he hasn’t been truly tested yet as Bush2 was. That is yet to come.
I meant enough seats to make a filibuster proof majority. Having 52 Senate seats for 54 Senate seats won’t make much difference if you’re trying to get bills out of the Senate. +2 is the best case scenario.
But there have been 114 senators NOT of the President’s party who have run in a midterm since 1982. 96% of them have won.
And while I think its likely Republicans will hold the Senate, its really a phyrric victory if you lose the House. Making things a little easier to pass in the Senate that won’t be taken up in the House makes the whole process more difficult.
And again, my main point was to push back against the notion that the midterms will make it any easier to pass meaningful legislation. All recent historical evidence says that is very unlikely.
You forget most of the seats in the Senate up for reelection last year were held by Republicans.
In 2018, Dems hold 23 of the seats, Republicans only 8, and “Indepdents” hold 2.
None of the GOP seats are considered even remotely close to vulnerable.
Nevada… maybe in play for team R.
It is quite possible to see a few pick ups. FL, MO, ND, WV even WI are all on the table. It is long time between now and the election though. If I were calling strategy for Team R, I’d dump it mostly in those six races, maybe AZ as well.
No, I said its a favorable map. But there have been favorable maps and conditions before, with a best outcome of +2 seats gained.
The point is its a tremendous political accomplishment NOT to lose a significant number of seats in midterm elections. Anyone holding their breath for a more favorable Congress is ignoring history.
You forgot to fold in R vs. D in terms of state governorships and legislatures. The R’s have done quite well there, and there’s little evidence that is going to change soon.
Why are they all males in that free soap picture above?
That pic was taken during the Great Depression, Yef.
It’s all men because women who worked got lower wages, and everyone in business needed a secretary who could take dictation and type.
I did not realize this until I looked up those soup line photos that Al Capone started a soup kitchen in New York City.
Capone knew the value of PR, hence his efforts to avoid collateral damage and his practice of paying hospital bills for injured bystanders. He wasn’t a good guy, he was just smart enough to excercise “pragmatic villainy.”
He was also a valor thief, falsely claiming to have been a WWI vet and member of the Lost Battalion when he was actually a draft dodger.
When my father was a youngster, he met Al in person… Al would party over in Gary, IN and stay over a a hotel ran by a great uncle. Always had some pocket change for the kids…
Only small numbers of women worked outside the home in pre-WW2 USA. They existed, but it was still very much a “Man as breadwinner” era.
The WW2 war economy -radically- changed the face of the American workforce, and it is difficult for folks now to see it.
In many places, if a man could not raise his family on his own paycheck, it was often -humiliating-.
The need for vast industrial work to be done while most of the fit men were in uniform, led to massive utilization of women for war work. Once they became accustomed to the idea, everything was forever changed.
(Grossly simplified, but it was definitely a “phase change” in attitudes and practice.)
I’m enjoying the show myself, the liberal news media has been in need of a kick in the teeth just as much as the DC insider establishment and President Trump has been giving it to both!
I agree.
If the MSM are the dinosaurs, then the Trumpminator is the meteorite and the bloggesphere are the mammals.
Trumpzilla wading through the MSM city, leaving flaming wreckage in his wake, occasionally bellowing and unleashing his Atomi-Kazi tweet-breath.
While they’re screaming their heads off over the wrasslin’ video, there’s hardly a peep to be heard about the plight of young Charlie Gard. Trump tweeted about him, too, saying that he would welcome the Gard family to use any medical means available in the United States to save their boy if they were able to bring him here. The only response from the left was Shannon Watts calling him racist for being willing to help a sick baby boy. Otherwise, their ordeal with British Health and the EU courts is apparently not worth mentioning.
Hell, even Pope Francis broke from his left-leaning SOP and announced his support for the Gard family–something I found pleasantly surprising.
I pray that someday, we will once again have a media outlet we can believe in that tells the facts, not just their opinion!
We kind of do have that now, Willy. You’re posting comments on a blog that represents exactly what you’re talking about.
Haha. Google can’t help it.
Their Google Doodle for today is a dedicated to the national parks service instead of Independence day.
Who are the libtards in charge of public relations over there?
Weak.
You know, I think they want to ‘avoid controversy’, and the idiots who run Google, like Sergei Brin and Sundar Pichai are either immigrants or come from immigrant families, and made good for themselves.
Let them do what they like.
My flag is out front in the flag holder.
Bing shows fireworks.
If one clicks on the doodle it goes to a search for the 4th of July.
The Google doodle I see has wildlife, stars on blue, red and white stripes and pine trees.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY, TO ONE AND ALL!!!!!
I love your metaphor of the curbstrap on a runaway horse, but only those of us who actually know how to tack up a horse and ride it will get it. The proglodytes and their ilk will think it has something to do with being strapped when you step off a curb in da hood. (Hint for the clueless: The curbstrap goes on the bit under the horse’s jaw and provides the leverage on the bit in the horse’s mouth needed to make it stop or slow.)
You know, maybe in this case, we should do what I did with an unruly 2-year-old gelding who liked to take me by surprise and bolt: let him run and when he slowed down, make him run some more, good and hard. He tried to quit after a mile of that, but I kept him going for another two miles. He never ran off with me again.
I know there’s a metaphor in there for the idiot proggies who think they know it all but know nothing. I’ll try to see what I can come up with.
Spot on article. You play the “Breaking White House Scandal” card out 5 times a day and it gets old.
Remember the recent blockbuster report that Racheal Mad-Cow had when she got a hold of Trump’s 2005 Tax returns?
She looked like a fool.
First, you must ask why she just had to have something that is 12 years out of date, especially when she makes a princely sum of cash for running her mouth on a network that not many people watch.
You also have to explain her lack of general comprehension skills.
Then, after you’ve explained that in a way that doesn’t make people snort with laughter, go to a bar where everybody knows your name and ask the bartender what the hell is wrong with people like her.
She’s just one step shy of being plain old nuts. I keep hoping someone will tell us that she screwed the pooch 5 times in one day and got canned for it.
(I can dream, can’t I?)
Some folks have accused Trump of “bullying” CNN.
CNN decided to track down the guy that made that Trump vs. CNN meme.
Is “extortion” too strong a word here?
https://pjmedia.com/trending/2017/07/04/cnn-appears-to-extort-apology-from-trump-meme-maker/
So now we have a major media entity going after a small-fry political speaker who dared say something in support of Trump, or horror of horrors, mock the media.
Nice brown shirt, there CNN. Got those jackboots broken in yet?
“….eventually center itself…” Your tactful way of saying we’ll elect a president who isn’t an ignorant, sexist, traitorous, adulterous, dangerous, narcissistic blowhard?
Alert! Poo-flinging social justice howler monkey sighting!
No, Joey, you incredibly moronic self-centered dumbass twit. It means that the radicalism that you groove on is going out the window like the rest of your idiotic nonsensical tax-sucking crap.
No, we got rid of Clinton & Obama already, thanks.
“… It can put a lot of overpaid people out of work…” They must not pay you military guys and girls very well, you seem to have a great preoccupation, and great envy, for what other people are paid. If you’re so damned jealous, why didn’t you pick a different line of work? Or is is just a case of hindsight being 20/20?
Gee, Joey, you make constant false and incredible assumptions that everyone in the military has never done anything else, which is completely not true.
You, on the other hand, haven’t done much of anything.
Coming from a committed Leftist who doubtless supports confiscatory progressive taxation, that’s hilarious. But then again, logical reasoning when it came to finances never was one of the Left’s strong points.
Project much, Joe?
My finances are just fine, really enjoying retirement.
You mean setting yourself up as one of Durango’s 8000 pot dealers?
Joe, what have you ever done other than climb rocks and pick your nose while living in your Mommy’s basement?
Well, since I hung up my rope 40 years ago, yes. And PS – my mom is long dead. Anything else?
So was Norman Bates’ mommy. At least his story was somewhat entertaining, right up to the point he turned Janet Leigh into human shiskabob.
He licks the seats in the girls restrooms in the school he labors in.
and we live, rent free in your head Joe…enjoy
That bit, right there. Perfectly said.
With the fiasco over a silly video taunting CNN, in addition to a “news report” that they admitted was pure fiction, how long do you think it will be until the entire leftie side as a credible news source will crumble?
If the response to CNN’s attempt to intimidate someone posting a video was to try to bully the creator of it into silence, it has backfired badly on them.
Nice article.
And very true.
Good job, EX.
Thanks, GT. I appreciate your feedback.
