If the left can't refute the Trump Presidency, they'll keep making stuff up

     Liberals cannot get many to despise President Trump if, like me, we already had previously. Trump was my most disliked candidate, considering what I regarded as bloviating, insulting, and rudeness toward other candidates, most particularly his terrible insult of Carly Fiorina (His attempt to recover from the shame of that was equally shabby). But it soon came down to him or Hillary and it became no choice for me. Who would I prefer to greet the casket of my dead child: Obama, for whom my child would be nothing but a prop in a photo-op, or Hillary, who would blatantly lie to our faces about his death. Or Trump, who would make the murderers pay dearly for our loss? Or any other Democrat who would be the Favored One of those who long to be photographed trampling on the American flag, kneeling during the national anthem, or being cheered as they call our President "a motherf**ker".
     Not this kid; I have seen President Trump's accomplishments in the face of everything the American left has thrown at him and those he has selected to serve with him. He has defied demagogues in Congress, entire "News" networks, and their showboating "reporters", - openly dedicated to the destruction of the Trump Presidency - the entire "entertainment" industry, and much of academia.
We must fear this left and their silly, yet treacherous efforts to get the allegiance of the American people. This is not even close to being the Democrat Party of my family, my labor union, and of this nation's world wars.  The Tunnel Dweller

"Did Donald Trump’s mother call him idiot with zero common sense? Fact Check"


Snopes . . . To sum up, the president’s mother did not call him “an idiot with zero common sense.” We therefore rate this claim “False.' ” . . .

FactCheck.org . . . "The meme offers no citation for the quote, and we couldn’t find anything to lend it credibility: We searched online and through news archives and found no such statement from Mary Trump, who died in August 2000.
"Trump’s mother criticizing her son and forecasting his potential entrance into politics — not to mention calling such a move a “disaster” — would have no doubt made the quotation newsworthy, if she had said it, at the time and again later. Before Mary Trump died, Donald Trump already had become a wealthy developer and casino owner who gained celebrity status and publicly considered running for president in the late 1990s, before deciding not to run. The supposed quote also would have likely resurfaced during his 2016 presidential campaign." . . .
Here's a twofer from CHECK YOUR FACT"
. . . "However, the Daily Caller News Foundation found no record of Mary Anne Trump ever saying the quote attributed to her in the Facebook post. A search of news archives and interviews didn’t yield any matches. It only seems to appear in memes and social media posts.
"Other fact-checkers have also been unable to find any credible sources linking Mary Anne Trump to the quote.  . . .
"If Mary Anne Trump had said such a negative thing about her son before her death in 2000, it likely would have been picked up by the media when Donald Trump publicly considered running for president in the late ’90s, but no news outlets reported on it."
An article shared on Facebook claims former first lady Michelle Obama called President Donald Trump the “dumbest president in United States history.”   
"Verdict: False  There is no record of Obama ever saying the statement. The quote originated on a satirical website."

ANALYSIS: 5 Reasons Why Stacey Abrams Would Be A Risky VP Choice For Joe Biden

Her refusal to accept the results of an election opens her up to charges of hypocrisy, given that she criticized President Donald Trump in 2016 for refusing to commit to accepting the election results if he lost. As recently as last month, a group that Abrams leads placed an asterisk next to Kemp’s name in ad attacking him.
Daily Caller   "Former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is pitching herself as a potential running mate for former Vice President Joe Biden. 
Democratic Presidential Candidate Mike Bloomberg Campaigns Ahead Of Super Tuesday"Though Abrams has benefited from fawning media praise, selecting her would come with its downsides for Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. Here are five reasons why Abrams would be a risky choice. 
"She’s never been elected to office higher than state representative 
"Abrams has never been elected to an office higher than Georgia state representative, serving as minority leader in the state legislature — and she doesn’t even hold that office at the current moment.
"State legislators are ubiquitous in the political world: the United States has more than 5,400 state representatives and nearly 2,000 state senators, according to Ballotpedia. And yet, if Abrams becomes Biden’s running mate and he wins, she’ll be a heartbeat away from the presidency.
"Her qualifications are especially important considering Biden’s advanced age. The former vice president is 77-years-old and will turn 78 in November. If elected, Biden would be the oldest president in American history." . . .

"Those steamy romance novels" 

"Abrams wrote a series of steamy romance novels that could be awkward for her to address on the campaign trail. While her novels aren’t as aggressive as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’s essay about a woman having gang rape fantasies, it still contains sexually explicit content outside the norm for a vice president’s writing."  ...

Have the Democrats thought this out really, really, really well? She could be president, you know.  Sunday Schadenfreude: No way out for Democrats stuck with senile Biden as #MeToo allegations cannot be suppressed

Shifty Schiff: Thousands of Americans Are Dead Because We Didn't Successfully Impeach and Remove Trump

Pelosi, Schiff, Maxine Waters, Schumer, and, well, all those with scowling faces in Congress and their enablers at MSNBC, CNN, and Hollywood know if this nation goes Democrat in November, they will have control over us. TD
"Despite that, Schiff blames the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic and the deaths associated with the virus in America on... President Trump not being impeached.
Beth Baumann   "House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) has been one of the biggest outspoken proponents of impeaching President Donald Trump. For two years we were repeatedly told that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. Special Counsel Robert Mueller proved no collusion took place. Schiff and his cronies immediately clung to the theory that Trump threatened to withhold military aid to Ukraine unless the country investigated Hunter Biden for sitting on the board of Burisma, a natural gas company. Hunter was being paid more than a million dollars a year despite having no natural energy experience. Even though everyone knew no quid pro quo took place, Democrats moved forward with impeachment. They impeached the president in the House but failed to have him convicted in the Senate. 
"Despite that, Schiff blames the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic and the deaths associated with the virus in America on... President Trump not being impeached.
"Let that sink in for a second.
. . . 
"How is that being incompetent? Trump went against everyone's advice – including the World Health Organization – when he halted flights. If he was incompetent or only cared about himself he would have never made that kind of call. He wouldn't spend hours every day holding press briefings about this pandemic. If he didn't care, his team wouldn't have worked with governors, private enterprise and health care officials to address this public health crisis.
"Schiff is just mad that he's no longer relevant and he didn't succeed in his partisan witch hunt."
This is nowhere near "just politics"; this is sheer hatred.

Rumor-mongers of the Demagogue Party

Virus Strikes Media Dumb  . . . "Instead, we are back to story number one: How to refashion news on the Wuhan virus to attack the President. As been the case from the beginning, the press is using every foul means to demean him and make this the Trump Virus, ignoring his measured approach and successes. 
"This week they glommed onto his remarks in a presser that revealed the contagion curve is flattening and diminishing to suggest that Trump had called for something as possible remediation -- bleach injection -- that he had not. In some cases, they flat-out lied about what he said. In others they edited the presser video to achieve the same distortion. 
"Regular readers of this site know a great deal about press information manipulation and lies. I write this in the hope that you will share it with those others who still don’t get it. 
"Here is the relevant discussion from that presser, transcribed by the Daily Caller:
Bill Bryan, Under Secretary for Science and Technology at DHS, talked about the half-life of the coronavirus on surfaces like door handles and stainless steel surfaces, saying that when they “inject” UV rays into the mix along with high temperatures and increased humidity that the virus dies quickly.  
Bryan continued by noting that DHS also tested if certain types of disinfectant could kill the coronavirus.
“We’ve tested bleach, we’ve tested isopropyl alcohol on the virus, specifically in saliva or in respiratory fluids, and I can tell you that bleach will kill the virus in five minutes,” Bryan said. “Isopropyl alcohol will kill the virus in 30 seconds, and that’s with no manipulation, no rubbing. Just bring it on and leaving it go. You rub it and it goes away even faster.”...
Immediately following these remarks is where Trump states, "So, I’m going to ask Bill a question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposing when we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful."  
A few moments later, ABC News reporter Jon Karl asked Bryan, “The president mentioned the idea of a cleaner, bleach and isopropyl alcohol emerging. There’s no scenario where that could be injected into a person, is there?”
“No, I’m here to talk about the finds that we had in the study,” Bryan responded. “We don’t do that within that lab at our labs.”
Trump then clarified his remarks: “It wouldn’t be through injections, you’re talking about almost a cleaning and sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work, but it certainly has a big effect if it’s on a stationary object.”
Trump later raised the possibility of whether UV rays could kill the coronavirus if it was on a person’s skin, in particular if it were on their hands.
“If they’re outside, right, and their hands are exposed to the sun, will that kill it as though it were a piece of metal or something else?” Trump asked.
“I don’t want to say it will at the same rate because it’s a non-porous surface, but what we do know is that we looked at the worst case scenario and the virus lives longer on non-porous surfaces,” Bryan responded. “So porous surfaces, it doesn’t live quite as long, so in theory what you said is correct.”
"From this exchange,  the media reported the president was advising people inject bleach to kill the virus." . . .
The View's Behar
There's no turning back. The latest anti-Trump hoax is now the left's fixed reality:
That’s where we are with the Lysol/bleach hoax. It’s now a fixed part of Leftist lore about President Trump. To them, he will forever be the president who told Americans to inject Lysol and drink bleach.
The panel on "The View" was only one segment picking up on this.

Trump’s idea for “disinfecting” people to fight disease is already being done   "If you spent any time on the internet on Thursday and Friday, or read a hard copy of a newspaper, you would undoubtedly have read stories or social media posts saying that President Trump told Americans to inject themselves with bleach or Lysol to cure coronavirus. Of course, that's not true. The media were either stupid or malicious when they misreported Trump's words. What Trump said was straightforward and thoughtful: . . ."
. . . "My point is simply that, not only was Trump making an intelligent suggestion about new ways to treat a new enemy, what he was advocating has already been done! In the battle between Trump and the media, they may sell pixels by the barrel, but it’s Trump who has the brains and knowledge. Andrea Widburg, whose companion article is:
