Is The Thrill Gone?

Once again WSF goes off on a murky political rant. You may want to read the bloggers on the sidebar instead.

Some of my relatives are liberals, especially on social issues like health care, Aids, human trafficking, mental health, domestic violence, and gays. I respect their opinions, even share some, because they walk the walk. Most definitely are not Starbuck revolutionaries. They loath President Trump, and are thrilled by any news that puts him in a bad light. They revel in the thought he is hurting. The mainstream media caters, in my opinion, to the Trump haters. That is because the corrupt, lying, smug mainstream media (h/t Larry Lambert) shares in that hatred.

Look at Google News. Compilation of the brightest and best MSM (New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, CNN). All, and I do mean 100%, of the stories about President Trump, his family, and his associates are full of words  like failure, scandal, disorganization, weakness and irrational behavior.  The liberals eat it up and high five. The deep state inhabitants, and the lampreys that feed off them, applaud.

The rest of the country? About as upset as when Billy Carter pissed in public. They aren’t thrilled by the MSM manufactured drama. They are too busy raising families and making a living.

President Trump won the nomination in spite of the MSM and the Jeb! RINOs. He won the presidency in spite of the MSM and Jeb! RINOs. He is the first president in my lifetime that is (1) not tainted with graft and corruption, and (2) making a determined effort to keep his campaign promises.

I will always vote for the honest person, even if I disagree with most of their positions, before I will vote for a tainted candidate I mainly agree with. Prime example would be the late Ken Gordon, Colorado Democrat.

So what is up with all this Russian bullshit? IMO, that is all they’ve got, and it mighty thin. Not an original though by me to be sure. My fondest hope is that it will come back to bite them in the ass.

Consider this. The FBI has suffered an enormous drop in prestige. Mueller, the former director, is now an Independent investigator. Who knows what direction that investigation will take. Like, the Obama administration’s misdeeds? The Shillary State Department? No DOJ running interference there, not with Sessions running it. Maybe the FBI can recover some of their mojo (and enjoy a little payback for years of humiliation?)

Consider the case of Candace Claiborne, State Department employee who may face treason charges. The first of many so the flacks say.

Back in the news is Lois Lerner, the retired IRS management poster child, who may still face criminal charges.

Who knows how many more will be exposed and prosecuted? Who will start singing to save their own hides now that the Obama thugs can’t protect them? Probably too many to be Seth Richarded/Vince Fostered. We can only hope.

Confidence in the Mainstream Media

What is wrong with this picture?

In advance of the Lightbringer's bloviation this evening.

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Fool me over and over, I must be a mainstream media apparatchik.

Nag, Nag, Bitch, Bitch

Seldom watch television but caught a news broadcast about e-cigarettes at an awards show, and politicians getting face time on air by being shocked, appalled, and determined to “do something”. From MSNBC.

 A group of Democratic senators are asking NBC Universal and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to avoid the “glamorization” of smoking e-cigarettes in future broadcasts of the Golden Globes.

In a letter from Senators Dick Durbin, Richard Blumenthal, Sherrod Brown, and Ed Markey on Thursday, the senators wrote, “Unfortunately, this year, many young viewers saw notable displays of e-cigarette use through the awards show… We are troubled that these images glamorize smoking and serve as celebrity endorsements that could encourage young fans to begin smoking.”

Note the key words, “Democratic Senators”. The same asshats that are working to dismantle the 2^nd Amendment, and otherwise run our lives. Strictly for our own benefit, of course, as we are too dumb to take care of ourselves. Isn’t it nice they care so much for us?

I smoked a carton a week for better than twenty years. Unfiltered Camels and Pall Malls. Quit cold turkey in 1984. If you choose to smoke, that is no business of mine. I prefer not to be around cigarette smoke indoors, and don’t like to see butts scattered around, but don’t see it as my place to tell others what they should do.

What is worse? These arrogant assholes who assume they hold the moral high ground or the lame stream media that gives them a podium?

Kiss My Veteran Ass, You MSM Fuckwads!

Hit piece bashing soldiers and air force personnel.

Live in your insular little world. Don't be among the 1% of the population that protects YOU. Piss and moan when the men and women who protect your privileged ass occasionally (rarely) have problems and you feel uncomfortable.

Even though you wouldn't make a pimple on a service persons ass, you think you hold the moral high ground, so you feel free to judge.

"Progressives" Waking Up

Confesses to being a biased journalist and duped by the Lightbringer.

Would like to laugh but the gallows humor is too grim.

Just Shut Up!!!

Ongoing liberal efforts to bolster their position by getting their opposition to "just shut up".

http://conference.freepress.net/

So, if your ideas meet with widespread resistance, don't let the resistance be heard.

Besides, some money might be made. Greedy capitalism is bad but empowering the progressive leaders is good, no?

Back on the road tomorrow morning for a few days. Ya,sure Minnesota.
