Our revered free press

Conrad Black: America is being mocked by the shallow bias of its free press  
Anti-Trump mainstream media in the U.S., joined by their fatuously chirping Canadian counterparts, are failing the general public
. . . "But we will get the politicians we deserve. When will we get media we deserve? This is a burning question for the whole West. Until it is answered, a free press is undervalued and accordingly vulnerable. The recently exposed abuses of Facebook and other tech giants and the U.S. president’s successful use of Twitter are symptoms of the problem."

America is being mocked by the shallow bias of its free press



. . . "Desperately unoriginal and mouthy occupants of late-night purported comedy — Bill Maher, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Chelsea Handler — imagine that shouting rehashed denigrations of the president and his family are amusing. It is a bore; it isn’t working, and history moves on." . . .





Trump taunts Democrats over Russia collusion lawsuit

Tony Branco
NY Post  . . . “ 'We will now counter for the DNC Server that they refused to give to the FBI, the Debbie Wasserman Schultz Servers and Documents held by the Pakistani mystery man and Clinton Emails,” he posted Friday night.
"Deputy Attorney General Robert Rosenstein, who is overseeing Mueller, told Trump last week that the president is not — at this point — a target in the investigation."

Wisdom and the Smartest People Ever

"Seek wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.  Find wisdom.  Though it cost all you have, get understanding."
"Does not wisdom call out?"
"Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her." From the Book of Proverbs

David Prentice  . . . "Now, it's hard not to notice that the pinnacle of the left being smarter than everyone came to us with one Barack Obama, with his incredibly über-intelligent, superior group of advisers and administration.
"Nobody was ever smarter.  Ever.
"Except they really weren't.  For smart people, they actually did some of the dumbest things ever in public life.  The tragedy of so many believing they were the smartest people ever may haunt us for years.
. . . 
"The eight years of Barack Obama were the West at its low point.  My take: I never thought our culture could turn so wrong so fast.  Things happened in our government and culture during those eight years we never deemed possible even ten years ago.  Destructive trends, "destructive ideas, destructive social movements.  All at their peak through the Obama years:' " . . .  (Emphases added, TD)
*The worst race relations since the 1960s.  Race-baiting, straight from the top.*The worst foreign policy ever.  Iran.  Cuba.  ISIS.  Help our enemies.  Betray our friends.  Bolster Islamists; destroy American confidence and its military.*The most corrupt administration ever.  By far.  We're just now seeing how bad.*A turn in leftist immigration policy – its clear intent to replace the current electorate with a malleable, ignorant new electorate willing to believe the leftist siren songs so the left can have unchallenged power.*The worst of pay to play.  Leftists at the trough of government sucked deep.  The Clinton Foundation sucking the deepest.  Follow the money if you dare.*The moral preening of Hollywood and the media. . . .

I left my body waste in San Francisco


This was from 2009, so how has the city changed since then?
For a first world city, San Francisco is dirty. No, filthy. No, disgusting. Whenever I travel outside of San Francisco, I'm amazed at what a disastrous anomaly it is. Sidewalks are routinely covered in broken glass, trash, old food, and human excrement....... Aging hippies in the Haight argue about marijuana legalization and anti-war referendums when men and women are dying – visibly dying – on the streets of the Tenderloin. It's as if all parties don't occupy the same city...
 Clean up San Francisco’s streets, tourist industry pleads . . . "People injecting themselves with drugs in broad daylight, their dirty needles and other garbage strewn on the sidewalks. Tent camps. Human feces. The threatening behavior of some people who appear either mentally ill or high. Petty theft. 

“ 'The streets are filthy. There’s trash everywhere. It’s disgusting,” D’Alessandro said, adding he’s traveled the world, and San Francisco stands out for the wrong reasons. “I’ve never seen any other city like this — the homelessness, dirty streets, drug use on the streets, smash-and-grabs. 


“ 'How can it be?” he continued. 


“ 'How can it have gotten to this point?” Remember, this is the man whose job is to glorify San Francisco, which tells you something about how far the city has sunk." . . . 

Save The Earth: Chop Down Redwoods, Use Plastic Bags, And Eat GMOs


Daily Caller  "It’s Earth Day again, so prepare to be bombarded with platitudes from environmental activists droning at rallies and on TV — all while stuffing their faces with organic kale.

"But it’s 2018, so environmentalists may also complain how Earth Day is “too white” or a rehashing of apocalyptic predictions of ecological decay making the rounds for decades.

"What you probably won’t hear about are some of the actual great environmental threats Americans face or the unintended consequences of policies meant to go “green.” In light of this, The Daily Caller News Foundation put together a short list of things Americans aren’t likely to hear from most of the media on Earth Day." . . .  Full article


"At this point it’s hard to see how we will ever be rid of this loathsome sore loser short of locking her up . . ."

This was a beautiful home we wanted badly to have . . .



. . . but they didn't want me to have it!


. . . "Of course it doesn’t help that Hillary doesn’t want to leave the spotlight. As the AP noted, “she launched a political organization designed to encourage Trump ‘resistance’ groups” and still makes appearances. She still won’t accept responsibility for losing the election and instead places blame everywhere else.
" 'But it still shocks me that the GOP has decided to take this route considering the Democrats and her former aides don’t want much to do with her. Hillary received a lot of backlash last month when she visited India and implied that us in flyover country hate black people and us women who didn’t vote for her did so because the men in our lives told us not to.
"Some of that backlash came from the Democrats and those around her. An interviewer asked Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) when Hillary would finally “ride off into the sunset” and the incumbent answered, “[N]ot soon enough.” Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said that that’s not the way “you should talk about any voter.' ” . . .

Hillary’s Famous “Deplorables” Line Wasn’t a Slip of the Tongue
"How can anyone forget this? Hillary: Half of Trump Supporters Belong in a “Basket of Deplorables”


. . . "The moment was framed as a gaffe, something Hillary accidentally said out loud when she thought the only people listening were her supporters. A new book disputes this account, however.
"Phillip Wegmann reports at the Washington Examiner: . . ."
