Trump's popularity hits new heights - and Dems run scared

Monica Showalter  "In agonizing, painful, miserable news for the Trump-hating left, a new Marist poll finds that President Trump's popularity has reached a new high at 42% approval, the highest it's been since he took office. According to The Hill:

Trump's approval rating rose from the 38 percent he received in the poll last month. And the percentage of Americans who strongly approve of Trump held at 24 percent from last month’s survey, an all-time high for the president.

"At the same time, Trump's disapproval rate, now at 50%, fell four percentage points from 54%. The voters that the Trump haters the left has fed from for the past year, is shrinking.

"Something has changed. And better still, these good numbers for Trump are a trend. For the rest of us, the trend is your friend.

"The reason he's up, despite the Beltway's over-covered supposed turmoil at the White House, and the Russia,Russia,Russia obsession of the leftwing press, is not hard to discern. Job creation just hit the 300,000 mark, a number we have not seen in about a decade. Taxes went down - and they went down hard for almost everyone. Factories and their jobs are returning to the states. Workforce participation is growing. And get a load of this one, from the Wall Street Journal:

Barack Obama and Rachel Dolezal, media darlings, head for Netflix

As the Right-Wing Are Silenced, Obamas Get a Show Reaching 118 Million

"As all of Social Media shuts down Conservative and Libertarian speech, Barack and Michelle Obama are working out a deal to launch a Netflix show that will reach 118 million homes and all in time for the elections.
"It will give them a national platform for their “inspirational” stories.
The Obamas are currently in negotiations with Netflix, according to the New York Times.Recently, former “Late Show” host David Letterman signed on for a series of six episodes with the streaming giant, rolling out his debut with President Obama as his first guest. During the interview, Obama expressed his disdain for Fox News, saying “If you watch Fox News, you are living on a different planet than you are if you are listening to NPR. If I watch Fox News, I wouldn’t vote for me. I would watch it and say ‘Who is that guy.’”The New York Times article speculated possible show scenarios and said: “Mr. Obama does not intend to use his Netflix shows to directly respond to President Trump or conservative critics.”Of course, it will be indirect, he will be more subtle. But not so subtle that the dumbest among us can’t figure out who he means.

Obama and phony African-American Rachel Dolezal heading for Netflix

. . . "Dolezal's teenage son Franklin, who is biracial, is featured in the trailer where he implores his mother to stop publicizing her beliefs.

" 'I resent some of her choices and I resent some of the words she has spoken in interviews,' Franklin said during the documentary's trailer. "

 

Farrakhan’s Rant Against 'JEWISH CONTROLLED FBI' Demand His Dem ALLIES To RESIGN

“None of these Democrats went into those meetings with Farrakhan not knowing who he was,” Brooks said. “At some point they made the decision that they were going to go ahead and meet with him.”

Socio-Political Commentary...  "Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan has answered those who denounced as anti-Semitic his recent "Jews are my enemy" quote with another broadside, this time tweeting a video clip where he says "The Jews have control over those areas of government" - in referring to the FBI. 

"The clip featuring the latest remark was posted to Farrakhan's official Twitter account on March 7, well after the controversy erupted over the remarks made earlier, at a Chicago event on Feb. 25. Those comments brought new attention to Farrakhan's links with seven members of the Congressional Black Congress, as well as to Women's March co-president Tamika Mallory, who attended the Farrakhan event, and posted a photo of herself with Farrakhan on her Instagram feed after the speech. 

"The controversy sparked calls by many Republicans for Democrats to vigorously denounce Farrakhan's remarks. Others who quickly condemned Farrakhan's remarks also asked pointed questions on why much of the media was either slow to report the story, or have chosen to ignore it entirely. Farrakhan tweeted this week: "The FBI has been the worst enemy of Black advancement. The Jews have control over those agencies of government." 


"The Republican Jewish Coalition on Tuesday called on the seven members of the CBC members to resign. The coalition’s director, Matt Brooks, told Fox News the Democratic leaders with ties to Farrakhan have been quick to denounce President Donald Trump and the GOP for remarks or actions that they view as bigoted, but overlook blatant racism and anti-Semitism when it comes to Farrakhan.

“ 'There’s clearly a double standard,” Brooks said, then amended that to say “No, there’s a double double-standard. Not only do you get the progressive left wing and more centrist Democrats who aren’t shy about criticizing President Trump or branding the Republican Party as white nationalists or neo-Nazis, but when it comes to condemning Louis Farrakhan, they’re silent.' ” . . .



Obama was ashamed of being photographed with Farrakhan, but, well, you know.  "Barack Obama posed for a photo in 2005 with Louis Farrakhan, the virulently anti-Semitic leader of the Nation of Islam movement, and the photographer said he suppressed its publication at the request of a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

"The future president was the U.S. senator from Illinois at the time.

"The Trice Edney News Wire first published the photo on Jan. 20. It quotes the photographer, Askia Muhammad, saying that after snapping the picture at a meeting of the Congressional Black Caucus, an unidentified member of the caucus asked him immediately not to run the photo." . . .

Farrakhan expressed support for Obama’s candidacy in 2008, and Obama’s pastor at the time, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, had praised Farrakhan on multiple occasions. That made Farrakhan an issue during the primaries campaign that year, and Obama’s rival at the time, Hillary Clinton, called on him to repudiate Farrakhan. Obama did so during a primaries debate.

I think many in the media prefer nuclear danger to seeing President Trump bring peace in Korea

MSM scramble to find reasons to ridicule Trump's North Korea triumph

"If you expected the media to hail North Korea's urgent request for talks –from the position of supplicant – you have underestimated the force of Trump Derangement Syndrome.  Only one mainstream media figure came close to acknowledging the potential for greatness.  Poor Erin Burnett of CNN apparently didn't get the message before going on air and acknowledging the upside potential of this development.

"Lawrence Bonk of the Media Research Center:

CNN's Erin Burnett had some startling words for the president, should he pull off denuclearizing the country.

Burnett actually said that he would go down as a "great president" if his talks with Jong Un go well.

. . . "Samantha Vinograd, of the Obama national security adviser's staffer that did nothing to stop North Korea's nuke program, is dead certain that there simply is not enough time, a view from within the box of failed diplomacy:" . . .

Thomas Lifson: Three reasons why North Korea's offer of direct talks is a victory for Trump  . . . "Now, make no mistake: there is no guarantee that the forthcoming talks will be successful.  But the framework is far more favorable than for any other previous negotiations with the Norks.  They must realize that Trump is a different kind of president from the ones they have been able to lie to and extort and bamboozle while they keep going toward an effective nuclear strike force capability.  All of the many critics who fretted that President Trump could blunder our way into nuclear war have egg on their faces."

Make that five administrations before Mr. Trump came along.

CNN's Camerota Demands Democrat Give Trump Credit for NoKo Meeting, Other ‘Successes’  . . . "While speaking with guest Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Camerota asked the Democrat what he thought about the agreed to meeting. Of course, he had only negative things to say, doubting the meeting would go anywhere and also calling it a “risky” move “which seems to validate this totalitarian regime.”

"Surprisingly the CNN anchor gave some pushback. “But do you give President Trump credit for the economic sanctions that have allowed this to happen and brought Kim Jong-un to the table?” she asked.

"Blumenthal predictably gave Democrats credit for the sanctions, saying Trump bowed to their pressure. Again, Camerota pushed back, asking, “Why do you say he only reluctantly imposed the sanctions, when he, let’s be honest, he is the first U.S. President to come this far with North Korea. Doesn't that say that he is doing something different?' ” . . . CNN? Really?

But my favorite take is actually Trump’s:

Kamala Harris sees California as the future of America

Kamala Harris On Immigration: Sessions Wants To Roll Back The Clock, "California Represents The Future"   "Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) appeared on MSNBC's All In with host Chris Hayes Wednesday night to discuss Attorney General Jeff Sessions' speech on California ignoring the nation's immigration laws and likening it to nullification. Harris warned that it's not a good idea for Sessions to bring up Civil War history and said his credibility is "pretty shot" on those issues.

"Hayes prompted the comments from Harris when he brought up Sessions' reference to "slave states in nullification and secession" in denouncing California for evading federal immigration law. (Editor's note: Sessions actually said: 'There is no nullification. There is no secession.' He then invited "any doubters to Gettysburg, and to the graves of John C. Calhoun and Abraham Lincoln." There was no abject overtures to slavery and reconstruction.)" . . .

The Russians are staying! The Russians are staying!

Some reporter once reminded President Nixon that he once said the administration should be examined with a microscope. Nixon replied,"With a microscope, yes; but not with a proctoscope"

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded, that the fight is fixed.  . . . "Everybody knows there two kinds of "public servants" in America: those who are held accountable for their actions and those who are not.  The unaccountables are almost always Democrat.

"Everybody knows that the king and queen of all unaccountables are Bill and Hillary Clinton.  Their careers have been a crescendo of criminality for which they have never been held to account." . . . 

. . . "Everybody knows that Barack Obama is doubly unaccountable.  He is unaccountable by physiognomy and by exquisite hypocrisy. Holder and Lynch, both also double-unaccountables, subverted the justice system as Obama's attorneys general, criminally conspired in multiple ways for political ends." . . .

Mueller tight-lipped as media leaks shape Russia narrative   "Leaked glimpses of special counsel Robert Mueller's activities tell an incomplete story, angering some Trump associates — but likely serving the purposes of others."

“Unfortunately, the media are all too willing partners in this arrangement often encouraging this conduct and providing cover to these leakers by giving them attributions that make it impossible for there to be accountability,” Lowell said.

 

CBS Urges Oprah to Run Against Trump: You ‘Heal and Connect All People’

MRC   "CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King on Tuesday urged her best friend Oprah Winfrey to run against Donald Trump in 2020. King even absurdly insisted she could stay on at CBS and cover the race “impartially.” The co-host, it turns out, has been lobbying her friend to run for months. On the show, King pleaded, 
“But I also think you have a unique ability in terms of healing and connecting all people.”

"King even cited the late poet Maya Angelou, pleading to Winfrey: “What do you think Maya would say? It's one of these times I wish Maya was here. What do you think that she would say?' ”
