Republicans are monsters. Donald Trump is a monster. Pretty much every conservative is a hateful bigot who despises the “other.” Any and all possible actions that could – in any way – embarrass or damage the political right must be undertaken immediately. Don’t bother to check the facts, just attack.
Sometimes I’m baffled about the things pollsters choose to examine. I get polling policies or candidates, but stuff like this? I’m shocked that anyone, anywhere, actually thought “hey we really need to get a read on whether people are comfortable calling roving gangs of rapists and murderers ‘animals.'”
Let’s get one thing straight. Hillary Clinton doesn’t give a damn about supporting women. In fact, she doesn’t really care about anything. To the Clintons, every single issue is a talking point – an exploitable moment – and nothing more.
So, after a 2016 campaign that focused Hillary’s white-hot glare upon the idea that women absolutely must support female candidates, is anyone really surprised that she’s chosen not to do so herself? Of course not.
Obama has once again repeated his claim that his administration was scandal free. So, off the top of my head…
Benghazi, IRS targeting, passing Obamacare based on the ‘ignorance of the American people, Hillary’s email server, ‘lost & found’ DOJ and IRS communications, YouTube video, OPM data breach, ‘you can keep your doctor,’ Susan Rice lies, Veterans Affairs deaths, Solyndra, secret cash to Iran, wiretapping AP reporters, James Rosen, Hezbollah cocaine shipments, FBI spying on Trump, Trump tower wiretaps, Biden groping everyone’s kids, Loretta Lynch Tarmac Meeting, ‘Matter’ vs ‘investigation,’ Hillary allowed to dodge charges, Pigford, Syrian Red Line, Arab Spring, Handling of the “JV Team,” Churchill Bust, illegal war in Libya, Clock Boy, ‘acted stupidly,’ and trading Taliban terrorists for Bowe Bergdahl.
If you read any news this morning, you probably saw that Pyongyang had – allegedly – blown up the tunnels that that made up the bulk of its nuclear testing facility at Punggye-ri. As the BBC reports, the site was destroyed. However, it’s entirely possible that the damage is reversible and may have been caused by a previous collapse. Remember, this is North Korea we’re dealing with. You can’t trust anything that comes from the pudgy mouth of glorious leader.
Over the course of the last two weeks, the media has been rife with “will they, won’t they” stories about the forthcoming meeting between President Donald Trump and North Korean Bowl Cut enthusiast Kim Jong Un. One minute it’s all set to occur as planned, the next we’re told ‘anonymous sources’ say it’s all been cancelled, and then it back on again.
Democrats are still desperate to explain their 2016 loss, and they’re desperate to do so without admitting that Hillary Clinton personifies most of their horrible, unworkable, rejected, beliefs. The candidate herself has become famous for her “everyone and everything but me” blame game – to the point where even former supporters are telling her to pipe down and go away. She’s not going to. Frankly, I suspect she’s in capable of doing so.
“No one wants to take your guns.” As I’ve written before, that’s always been the left’s most easily identifiable lie. It’s never even been a question. Of course they want to take your guns. They want to strip you of your rights, eliminate your ability to defend yourself, and eradicate even the notion that you could resist their efforts to make you subservient to (and dependent on) the federal government. That’s their goal. That is the endgame.
The “Blue Wave” is coming, everyone. It’s going to roll across California, flood the deserts, swamp the Rocky mountains, and then drench everything from Kansas to Maine. There’s simply no stopping it, so you probably shouldn’t even try. Democrats are going to win everything in the 2018 Midterms, and then they’re going to raise your taxes and impeach Trump. …At least, that’s the situation according to Democrats.
If you have a hazy recollection of the name Mark Penn, congratulations. You’ve been following politics for at least two decades. Penn was a pollster, and high-level advisor to Bill Clinton throughout the 90’s.
The Democrat engines have sputtered and flamed out. Now, they’re in a steep, out of control, dive – spiraling into the 2018 midterms like Goose in Top Gun. So, they’re trying anything they can, literally anything at all, to pull up before splashdown. It hasn’t worked.
Saying horrible things like “take back our country” used to be racist. It used to be regressive, bigoted, un-patriotic, backwards, and, well, deplorable.
Democrats sure do seem to have a lot of strange “protected classes” lately. Obviously, they’ve always liked to put people into groups, fan the flames of a victim mentality, and then play those groups against each other. It’s just what they do. But, in the last couple of weeks, they’ve decided to defend Iran, Hamas, and now – the icing on the cake – MS-13.
I don’t base my entertainment choices on politics. I don’t boycott musicians or actors over their political beliefs, I don’t confine myself to art I agree with, and some of my very favorite pieces of film and music were created by people with who I disagree vehemently. If I did base my pop-culture consumption on politics, I think I’d go insane. That’s simply no way to live.
I’ll give them this: They really tried their best to torpedo the first female CIA Director. It was a valiant effort but, in the end, the left-wing smears were not enough to stop Gina Haspel. Moments ago, she was confirmed.
We’ve talked quite a bit about the alleged “blue wave.” Democrats claim the 2018 midterms are going to be swamped by a massive left-wing tsunami that will wash Republicans out to a very unfriendly sea. Republicans, so far, have been content to shrug and say: “put up or shut up.”
Earlier, I posted a clip of a CNN panel in which the network discussed the fact that Dems have nothing positive on which to run. The party’s entire existence is built around a foamy-mouth hatred directed Donald Trump. “She” was never supposed to lose, and they honestly can’t wrap their heads around the idea that voters defied their delusions of superiority.
Because violent, rioting, Gazans are so incredibly moderate, the American media has decided to turn them into folk heroes. Their armed attacks have been presented as “protests” that employ “only small weapons” and they’ve been exploited in the effort to blame Israel, Trump, and Conservatives for …pretty much everything.
Quincy Jones has no love for President Donald Trump, though he does claim to have dated First Daughter Ivanka. So, I have no idea what he thinks of this Pro-Trump take on his song, “The Streetbeater.” You’ll know the tune better as “The Theme from Sanford and Son,” and this version is…well, amazing.
