Media Collusion Leading to Collision?

We are just hours away from what is being billed as one of, if not the most important, election in our lifetime. There is no doubt that the stakes and the consequences are enormous. We will either face two years of hearings, subpoenas and investigations into the Trump White House led by Democrat congressmen like Adam Schiff and Maxine Waters, presumably leading to impeachment hearings. Or, on the other hand, the Democrats could be so demoralized by not winning either house of Congress that they will amp up their "resistance" and double down on their hatred and contempt for Trump and his supporters.

Media Still Shilling for Obama

The Obama-loving mainstream media have stopped at nothing in their attempts to trash the presidency of Donald Trump, Barack Obama’s successor, before the new President’s agenda can take hold.

With Global Warming Treaty Ditched, Could Iran Deal Be Next?

The media remain outraged over President Donald Trump’s decision last week to withdraw from the Paris climate accord, a boondoggle which would have cost the U.S. an estimated $3 trillion and 6.5 million industrial-sector American jobs by 2040 with no actual effect on the climate.

Late-Night Trump Hatred vs. Primetime News

The anti-Trump venom from the mainstream media has become so virulent that broadcasters and reporters alike risk becoming little more than extensions of the late-night “comedic” lineup, bashing the President without regard for truth or factual accuracy. And above all, most of these journalists realize, and sometimes admit, that they want to help the Democrats win the next election.

Trump Presidency Takedown Effort is Underway

Following President Donald Trump’s generally well-received speech in Saudi Arabia to an audience that included the heads of 55 Muslim-majority countries, the concern on the part of many in the media was whether or not this would relieve some of the pressure he is under back home.

Comey’s Firing is Latest Weapon Against Trump Presidency

Before FBI Director James Comey was fired on Tuesday, there weren’t many politicians on either side of the aisle who were pleased with him or would have been sorry to see him go. Hillary Clinton recently blamed him for her defeat in last year’s presidential election by having re-opened the investigation into her mishandling of classified material less than two weeks before the election. Comey had confirmed in March that the FBI was investigating connections between advisors to President Donald Trump and representatives of the Russian government, both prior to the election last year and in the period between the election and the inauguration in January.

New York Times Misses the Mark on Hillary’s Defeat

The New York Times recently published a lengthy postmortem on the effects that the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails and the bureau’s investigation into Donald Trump’s alleged ties to Russia had on the 2016 election. The paper casts blame because FBI Director James Comey went public with the Clinton investigation, but didn’t expose the Trump inquiry during the election.

Questioning the Trump Doctrine on Iran

Recent comments by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson warning that Iran could follow North Korea's path of nuclear belligerence, and the Trump administration's certification, in turn, that Iran is complying with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), seem to send mixed messages. However, any guarantee of Iran's compliance must grapple with the fact that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors can only inspect declared, and not military or undeclared, nuclear development sites.

Trump Takes on the Obama “Climate Change” Agenda

The leftist mainstream media are outraged that President Donald Trump appears to be sticking to his campaign promise to “cancel” U.S. participation in the Paris climate accord. The headline in The Washington Post is “Trump’s energy review blocks Group of Seven from consensus.” Politico’s headline is “Trump’s climate demands roil U.S. allies.” This follows Trump’s recent actions to rescind the foundation of Barack Obama’s climate change obsession.

Susan Rice is the Wrong Person to Attack Trump's Credibility
