Peace Through Border Control

Ann Coulter   "I'm dying to hear about the "3-D chess" Trump is playing with his announcement on Monday that he's breaking his promise on Afghanistan and throwing more forces into that utterly pointless war. Will he be sending the transgender troops? 

But then the Emperor God gave a magnificent speech in Arizona Tuesday night. Curiously, when he talks to voters -- as opposed to his Cabinet and White House staff -- there's very little about sending more U.S. troops to die in the human meat-grinder of Afghanistan. 

Trump got thunderous applause from his 30,000-person focus group for the wall, stepped-up deportations and Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio -- recently convicted of contempt for "racially profiling" Hispanics. But you could hear a pin drop when he mentioned Afghanistan, Nikki Haley and Gen. John Kelly. (At least he had the good sense not to bring up Goldman Sachs' Gary Cohn again.) 

There were long faces all over cable news after Trump's speech, which surely triggers the reward center in his brain, like giving a mouse cheese. 

What was so refreshingly different about the Trump campaign was that the candidate didn't use any of the idiotic, consultant-written bromides offered by every other GOP presidential candidate for at least the past 30 years. Instead, he looked around the country, saw what the problems were and said he'd fix them. 

Here are the highlights from every speech by any Non-Trump candidate for the past several decades: 

"I listened to the American people." 

"People are frustrated." 

"This election is about the future!" 

The media are the enemy of so many Americans

CNN viciously attacks POTUS for Phoenix speech and suggests he's a national security threat

"CNN hit a new low – and that's saying a lot – Tuesday night in its coverage of President Trump's speech in Phoenix.  The former news channel is now little more than a propaganda mouthpiece for the Deep State.  On Tuesday, it used a half-dozen anti-Trump panelists, with no one representing a counter view, to introduce a new fake news meme: not only is the 45th POTUS a racist and a Nazi-sympathizer, but he is an imminent national security threat to the United States.

"To reinforce this spin, CNN's Don Lemon, who outed himself as a Trump-hater in an out-of-control alcohol-fueled on-camera appearance last New Year's Eve, trotted out CNN's new contributor, former Obama regime director of National Intelligence James Clapper.

The Clintons destroy everything they touch, including the Post Office

The GOP is exactly right here.  Keep looking, because if there's a scandal, then we know there's a Clinton!

Silvio Canto, Jr.    "Since 1992, when then-governor Clinton had his wife Hillary vouch for his matrimonial character on 60 Minutes, the Clintons have been a wrecking crew in our politics.

"They've been a timeline of destruction, from the 1994 midterm losses to not delivering Arkansas and the presidency to V.P. Gore in 2000.

"In other words, what have the Clintons done other than improve themselves or put cash in their pockets?  When will Democrats learn that this man and this woman are out to for themselves, and everybody else is a convenient step to achieve their goals?

"The latest example of Clinton corruption is the Post Office.  It's hard to believe but true.  The Clinton wanted to turn your friendly postman into a campaign operative.

"This is the latest in what we could call "postman-gate":

Republican lawmakers are casting a wider net in their search for wrongdoing at federal agencies in past election cycles, after learning the Postal Service violated the law by allowing employees to do union-funded work for Hillary Clinton's campaign while on leave. . . . 

Some Animals Are More Stable Than Others

Mike Adams





"My university probably doesn’t realize it but they just accidentally microaggressed the entire progressive population here at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW). And that is no laughing matter since about 99 percent of our “diverse” faculty see themselves as progressive in their political leanings. For those not aware, a progressive is someone who denies the humanity of the unborn, denies that there are biological differences between men and women, and characterizes political conservatives as “science deniers.” Regardless, it’s a good thing we have armies of mental health professionals on hand here at the university because we’re going to need them once they realize just how badly they have been victimized.

"I began to notice the microaggression of campus progressives the day after the election. That was when an email was sent to the entire university population acknowledging that some people were having trouble coping with the results of the election. But the email went further than that. It reminded people that the counseling center was there for people having emotional trouble in the wake of the election. In other words, it recognized that some progressives were too emotionally unstable to endure the consequences of living in a democracy where things don’t always go your way. 

"Of course, the email was not inaccurate. In fact, one of my colleagues was so emotionally devastated that she refused to teach any of her classes for two weeks. She was mourning the fact that voters rejected her bumper sticker, which clearly expressed her worldview assumption that “love trumps hate.” So if the email wasn’t inaccurate then what is the problem? And why am I writing a column about it? 

"The problem is that when Obama defeated Romney in 2012 there was no similar email to conservatives reminding them that counseling was available for those who were disappointed with the results of the election. The university administration just assumed that conservatives are emotionally capable of enduring the consequences of living in a democracy where things don’t always go your way. In other words, they assumed that conservatives are more emotionally stable than progressives. And anyone who has been through freshman orientation knows that is a microaggression!".  .  .

USA Today Runs By The Fake News Story Playbook

Weasel Zippers

"The industry standard.

"Via Washington Times:

You’ve heard it out there. You know the story already. USA Today “broke” it in a huge scoop on Monday: “Exclusive: Secret Service depletes funds to pay agents because of Trump’s frequent travel, large family.”

That’s yuuuge. Trump is bankrupting America! America, d*mn it!

“The Secret Service,” the explosive lead said, “can no longer pay hundreds of agents it needs to carry out an expanded protective mission — in large part due to the sheer size of President Trump’s family and efforts necessary to secure their multiple residences up and down the East Coast.”

The “scoop” came from Secret Service Director Randolph “Tex” Alles, who in his interview with USA Today said that “more than 1,000 agents have already hit the federally mandated caps for salary and overtime allowances that were meant to last the entire year.”

“The president has a large family, and our responsibility is required in law,” Mr. Alles said. “I can’t change that. I have no flexibility.”

Under former President Barack Obama, 31 people were protected by the Secret Service. Under Trump the number rose to 42, including 18 family members. Shocking.

CNN got all wee-weed up with the “exclusive”: “Secret Service can’t pay agents for Trump and his family, report says.” Lots of other mainstream media outlets followed the salacious story — Trump and his family are bankrupting America!

But it turns out the whole story was just plain old fake news.

Mr. Alles, in clarification to USA Today’s breathless report, later said that funding for roughly 1,100 agents working overtime in 2017 is not an issue “that can be attributed to the current administration’s protection requirements alone, but rather has been an ongoing issue for nearly a decade due to an overall increase in operational tempo.”

So, wait, it’s NOT Trump? It’s been happening for “nearly a decade” — so, uh, starting in, oh, say, 2009, 2010? When Barack Obama was president.

But Mr. Alles went on. It’s not at all what USA Today reported. “The Secret Service has the funding it needs to meet all current mission requirements for the remainder of the fiscal year and compensate employees for overtime within statutory pay caps,” the USSS director said in the later statement. “The Secret Service estimates that roughly 1,100 employees will work overtime hours in excess of statutory pay caps during calendar year 2017. Our agency experienced a similar situation in calendar year 2016 that resulted in legislation that allowed Secret Service employees to exceed statutory caps on pay.”

Report: ESPN Removes Asian Announcer Robert Lee From Announcing UVa Game

Weasel Zippers  " Washington Times is reporting this, it seems to be coming ultimately from anonymous sources. But it’s so like ESPN, it’s completely consistent.

Via Washington Times:

Apparently, even being Asian doesn’t mean people won’t take you for being a white nationalist.

According to the popular college-football blog Outkick the Coverage, ESPN pulled an Asian announcer from calling a University of Virginia football game. The announcer’s name is Robert Lee.

“Did I mention that Robert Lee is Asian?” blogger Clay Travis asked rhetorically in a post that poured scorn over the popular sports network for political correctness, calling it “MSESPN.”

Citing “multiple Outkick fans inside ESPN,” Mr. Travis said Mr. Lee was pulled from the Cavaliers Sept. 2 game in Charlottesville against William and Mary “because they were concerned that having an ASIAN FOOTBALL ANNOUNCER NAMED ROBERT LEE would be offensive to some viewers.”

The fatal violence in Charlottesville earlier this month grew out of a white-nationalist and neo-Nazi march in favor of keeping up a statue of Robert E. Lee — “the Confederate General who died in 1870 and shares a name with” the ESPN announcer, Mr. Travis helpfully explained.

Announcer Named Robert Lee Off UVa Game To Avoid Offending Idiots

Low on funds again but knee-deep in KKK history

Silvio Canto, Jr.    "Simply put, what happens when you focus the country on the segregated past?  The answer is that we are reminded that a generation ago, it was the Democrats with a KKK membership on their résumés.

"Charles Hurt makes this point in his latest post:  

Remind me, again, who was behind all the "violent bigotry" of the Civil War? Oh, yeah, it was Democrats. And who was behind all the vestiges of it over the last century? Democrats.

Mrs. Pelosi knows this, of course, because she worked shoulder-to-shoulder for 23 years beside a retired member of the Ku Klux Klan.

That would, of course, be the "great senator" from the "great state" of West Virginia, Robert C. Byrd, a lifelong Democrat.

As the "Exalted Cyclops" of the KKK, Mr. Byrd recruited more than 100 people to join his chapter and warned in a letter against America becoming "degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

"Frankly, I'm willing to forgive and forget the late Senator Byrd and his colleagues who voted against the Civil R'ights Act of 1964 and all other connections between Democrats and segregation.  It's history to me, and it does no one any good to attack people who are dead or, even better, who've been dead for over 100 years.  

"At the same time, it is the Democrats who have chosen to fight this battle.  It seems only fair that we should remind them that most of the people they are taking down are dead Democrats."

Suppose BLM and Antifa Are Just Democratic 'Muscle' like the Old KKK

Christopher Chantrill    . . . "The reason that Donald Trump won the Republican nomination was that he stood up for ordinary Republican voters that liberals routinely name and shame as racists, sexists, and homophobes. That’s why he beat out Ted Cruz (R-TX) and the GOP squishes.

""Ordinary middle-class Republicans know that, at any moment, they could be accused of racism by some SJW at work and lose their job. They are afraid; they want a president who will stand up for them.

The reason Donald Trump won the election was that his economic nationalism appealed to the white working class that is dying of despair, abandoned by the Democrats forty years ago. They want a president who will Make America Great Again.

"Then came Charlottesville, and Donald Trump showed that he had our back. The problem, he said, is both sides. If President Trump does nothing more in his presidency, he has at least declared left and right extremists equivalent." . . .

White girls in Trump gear trigger Howard University students in cafeteria

Rick Moran   "All they wanted was to grab some lunch on their visit to Howard University.  But a couple of young girls on a sightseeing trip to Washington got a lot more than they bargained for when their presence in the cafeteria set off a hysterical reaction.

Needless to say, that attitude was shared by many who felt "threatened" by the little girls.

Howard is a private institution and I've seen folks removed for campus for less. What did campus police do? This is unacceptable. https://t.co/eeiHuQbmyw

"Howard University cafeteria staff agreed with the snowflakes: . . ."

Suddenly the anti-Israel bunch is against anti-Semitism?

If anti-free speech demonstrators are going to chant 'never again!'...
"Americans are pouring into the streets to demand we put an end to free speech.  And the usual suspects in the media, academia, political class, and entertainment industry are cheering them on and painting them as heroes.

"Much has been written about this in recent days.  I'd like to focus on one thing in particular, which is that many "counter-protesters" chant and carry signs that read: "Never again!"

"Really?

"Do these fools have any idea what that refers to beyond using it as a slogan to frame themselves as 21st-century heroes rushing in to save the day?

"I'm guessing they don't.

"But if the anti-free speech hysterics are genuine in their newfound passion for "Never again!" (and of course, they're not, so indulge me my sarcasm), they've got their work cut out for them.

"They could start with a laser focus on the Boycott, Divest, Sanction (BDS) movement.  If they go here, they can check out BDS's latest plans and make sure they show up at events to shut them down.' . . .

Media Shames South Park for Ignoring Trump Jokes

Christian Toto  "South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone won't tar Trump in the show's upcoming season. That made the media very, very angry.

Cartman, Kyle and Kenny, meet Jimmy Fallon.
"The Tonight Show host once treated Donald Trump like a guest on his late night program. Because … that’s what the reality show host was.

"That sent reporters into a tizzy. How dare you normalize Trump, they cried. For weeks the press pounded Fallon for not just that indecency but for the dearth of Trump jokes in his monologues.
"Which is precisely what you see on the majority of late night comedy shows.
"Now, the press is training its guns on Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The duo behind Comedy Central’s long-running South Park incorporated plenty of Trump material in their most recent season.

"That’s partly why they decided to try something different for season 21, coming next month.
"Everyone else is unleashing Trump jokes, Parker and Stone argued. And the President himself is often so over the top it makes satire knottier. So the next batch of South Park episodes will mostly avoid Trump-related humor.
"You might as well whisper, “release the hounds” to the press.

"The Daily Beast attacked first, questioning Parker and Stone for not joining the Trump lynch mob." . . .

Even though this is mostly well-bleeped, language advisory is in order anyway:

Tapper speaks of how Obama got a free pass from the left

Obama never condemned the violence of the Black Lives Matter movement, even when innocent police officers died at their hands, and the media let him get away with that — even though the clearly racist, anti-white nature of some of its most vocal supporters was evident to anyone who followed the news.

Tаppеr Goеs Roguе With Unprеcеdеntеd Stаtеmеnt on Obаmа’s Truе Colors  "CNN anchor Jake Tapper recently went rogue and revealed the truth about former President Barack Obama’s true racist colors, and the left isn’t going to like it one bit. In an interview with Rolling Stone discussing the mainstream media, Tapper exposed the bias of major news outlets, explaining how they let Obama get away with telling lies while they criticize everything President Donald Trump says.

“ 'I don’t want to compare President Obama and President Trump on these issues because they’re different and the scale isn’t even remotely the same,” he said. “But President Obama said things that weren’t true and got away with it more for a variety of reasons, and one (reason) is the media was much more supportive of him.”

"Tapper added that when he was critical of Obama’s administration, a lot of people on the left “didn’t like it,” but that they now like how he is critical of Trump.

“ 'The Obama White House thought I was self-righteous and a huge pain in the a**,” he said.

"While many would still agree with that sentiment, Tapper — for once — touched on an important truth about how the liberal media always turned a blind eye to Obama’s failures." . . .

The source: Tapper's interview with Rolling Stone

There's a perception you've become more radical given your decision to call out Trump's falsehoods, but maybe it's just that people are simply more aware of it now.A lot of people on the left didn't like it before, and now they like it. I don't want to compare President Obama and President Trump on these issues because they're different and the scale isn't even remotely the same. But President Obama said things that weren't true and got away with it more for a variety of reasons, and one is the media was much more supportive of him. The Obama White House thought I was self-righteous and a huge pain in the ass.
