Media Propagandists Will Never Play Fair, No Matter How Quality The GOP Candidate Or Lousy The Democrat

 The Federalist


"Donald Trump is neither a kingmaker nor the palace’s HR director charged with hiring the next court jester. He didn’t make the Republican Party, and he didn’t destroy her fortunes. And Trump did not downgrade the red tsunami to a splash. The schizophrenic election results that included both Trump-endorsed winners and losers show that. 

"Like all else in politics, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. But no matter where that line falls, conservatives need to accept the reality that the Democrat Party, Fetterman loyals, faux Republicans, and the corrupt corporate media don’t care: They aren’t going to like us, they won’t represent us fairly, and they aren’t going to vote Republican. 

"A Democrat Party that props up an elderly man with obvious signs of mental decay to run as the party’s presidential candidate cares only about power. And voters casting their ballots for the same man, or the even more cognitively challenged Democrat candidate who just won the Pennsylvania U.S. Senate seat, see only one thing: the “D” next to the candidate’s name

"The establishment press likewise plays for team Democrat, and conservatives won’t change that even if they nominate the most milquetoast moderate candidate willing to don a scarlet R. Enter stage right, 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney. The press portrayed the inoffensive Romney as an animal abuser and denigrator of the women brimming over from his business binders. 

"The media will never play fair, as CNN’s Candy Crowley established when she moderated the Obama-Romney presidential debate. So in the pocket for the Democrat Party was the press that Crowley took no pause before conducting a live and incorrect fact-check of Romney when the GOP contender exposed then-Democrat President Barack Obama’s delay in branding the deadly Sept. 11 assault on the U.S. Consulate in Libya as an act of “terror” — something Obama falsely claimed he had done during his White House Rose Garden press conference held the following day.". . .

Bidenworld. . .A Hobbesian world in which human lives are “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.”

 



Once Democrats drain America’s dependence on fossil fuels, we will revert to a Hobbesian world in which, for most, life is “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” Fossil fuel is responsible for everything in our world: food, clothing, shelter, medical care, transportation, heat in the winter, air conditioning in the summer, and the end of human chattel labor by substituting machines for slaves. Add in the deliberate breakdown of our transport sector in the form of air and rail strikes, and we Americans are in deep doo-doo.. . .



CNN Adds Don Lemon’s New Show to its Long List of Failures

It seems like CNN’s only chance at accomplishing anything as a network is to just start boasting about their sheer number of failures, which may be approaching a Guinness world record. Even if CNN executives woke up tomorrow and decided to actually start reporting honest news, the respect they’ve lost from Americans is irreparable. Tim Young is the media and culture critic for American Greatness.

American Greatness.  "Yet another CNN venture has failed to grab the attention of American viewers: Don Lemon’s new show “CNN This Morning,” which turns out to be just as sleepy and lame as it sounds. They would have been better off calling the show something more creative like “Cup o’ Propaganda,” or “Is Anybody Even Watching This?”.  At least those titles would have been honest about the quality of the content the viewers were about to receive.

"The Left’s grip on media control is slipping, and there is really no better example than CNN, which has about the same level of credibility as gas station sushi. The only people who still take CNN seriously are the people who double mask alone in their cars or say they welcome all immigrants and then deport them from their island 48 hours after they arrive. You know, the real intellectual and moral superiors of society.

"I cannot remember a time when CNN, Don Lemon, or any of their other DNC talking points-pushing hosts were in the news for anything positive. At this point, whenever I see Don Lemon’s name is trending, I just assume he’s finally been fired from the network for either bad ratings or a claim of misconduct outside of their studios. And I have to believe we’re getting closer and closer to that day, because the launch of the new show, which also features two people you’ve probably never heard of—Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins—only reached a total of 387,000 viewers. To put that number in perspective, Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” averaged 1.5 million on the same days. 

"The last time the letters CNN came up in an enjoyable clip, Arizona gubernatorial candidate and scourge of the fake news industry, Kari Lake, shut down CNN’s Kyung Lah when she requested an interview. “I’ll do an interview . . . as long as it airs on CNN+” Lake snarkily


remarked to the reporter. “Does that still exist? I didn’t think so, because the people don’t like what you guys are peddling, which is propaganda.”

"Lake was absolutely correct. CNN has lost the respect of everyday Americans, and lost the eyes of the people who tuned in to them for years because “the walls were closing in” on Donald Trump. CNN executives’ inability to correct the problem they’ve created for themselves is most likely beyond the point of no return, and is exemplified every time they launch a total flop of a segment or show, or hire a new left-wing lunatic host.". . .

What about MSNBC and its ship of fools; Ali Velshi, Joe Scarborough, Joyless Joy Reid, Nicolle Wallace and other forgettable faux tv personalities?  "A majority of Americans distrust the media and view the press as a threat. And as usual, the media seems utterly clueless that they have created the darkness in which democracy dies.Rod Thomson

Cheney, Kinsinger share their greatest memory

 



Even the NY Times snuck in the obvious question here: If the FBI had all these contacts and they’re claiming it was some prior plot, why wasn’t it stopped beforehand, if it was a “seditious conspiracy” and not a spontaneous riot?

When the FBI got a tip from Rasheed, why didn’t they follow up on it? It would seem with something that specific you would want to follow up on it, especially if he was saying there were questions of violence. So why didn’t they?

If McWhirter was a confidential human source, why didn’t the government put him on the stand? Why didn’t they want the jury to hear that they had a confidential human source embedded in the matter? Why is it the defense that wants to call him?

A lot of questions going on here. With all the things that may be on the plate of a new GOP majority, maybe Ted Cruz wants to re-up that grilling and get to the bottom of this.

5 Reasons Why Republicans Failed in the Elections

 The American Spectator

Lessons from the red wave that wasn’t.

. . ."Why did expectations beat Republicans so decisively on Tuesday?

5. Dems Vote on 30 Election Days, Republicans Vote on 1

"The math of encouraging our side to vote on one day while the other side uses over a month in some cases to ensure that its people cast ballots predictably gifts the other side an advantage. Democrats bested Republicans in early and mail-in ballots by 44 percent to 30 percent in New Hampshire, 69 percent to 21 percent in Pennsylvania, and 49 percent to 29 in Michigan. In Florida, where Ron DeSantis went out of his way to encourage early voting and Republicans administered an educational beatdown to Democrats, the GOP won the early and mail-in vote by 43 percent to 37 percent. Principle does not require conservatives who lament turning Election Day into Election Month from instructing supporters to not mark ballots on all but the last day of voting; stupidity does.

4. Hyper-politicized Is the New Normal

"The people who politicize late-night comedy, sports, awards shows, and story hour at the local library, who boycott this cereal for where it advertises and that fast-food chain for the causes one of its owners once supported, naturally all vote. So long as this total-politics mindset — which its beneficiary, Joe Biden, ironically addressed Wednesday in saying that Americans “don’t want every day going forward to be a constant political battle” — prevails, kiss off the idea that in-power Democrats will take the foot off the gas during midterm elections. ". . .

Guess How Much Beto ‘the 3 Time Loser’ Burned Through?

Babylon Bee: Republicans Cheer As Beto O’Rourke Digs Giant Sinkhole For Democrats To Pour Their Money In


. . ."Following O'Rourke's failed Senate candidacy and hilariously futile Presidential run, Democrats are still coming out in droves to throw their money into the void. "It's really inexplicable at this point," said O'Rourke's campaign manager Art Mullinax. "We will make it close, then inevitably lose. But not before we get some great profiles written about Beto being the second coming of JFK and blowing through a hundred million dollars from donors. Looks like we might need a bigger sinkhole!". . .
. . ."At publishing time, Republicans were rejoicing to hear that Governor Newsom had bought TV ads in Texas and Florida in which he feeds money from Democratic donors directly into a shredder.". . .

Not parody:
  The Blacksphere: Kevin Jackson

"It takes a lot of money to run a campaign. Especially a high profile campaign. Especially THREE high profile campaigns. And you can bet Beto scammed every dollar he possibly could."

"Shockingly, Beto has burned almost $200 MILLION in just four years. And not once has he been declared the winner. That must sting pretty bad considering Beto exploited the deaths of 19 children and 2 teachers in his quest to unseat the popular GOP Governor Greg Abbott.

"Sadly, that wasn’t the first time Beto tried to use a mass shooting to his advantage. In 2019, Beto was polling around 5% when a gunman shot and killed 20 people, while injuring 26 others at an El Paso Walmart. Not only did Beto come out and directly blame President Trump for the shooting, but he also promised to enter people’s homes and take their guns by force. Add in the fact that we are under attack at our southern border, and you can guess how that went over in Texas.

"Beto also promised to legalize marijuana and expand Medicaid. But it wasn’t enough to fool Texas voters. We’ve seen Beto in action before, and you know what they say. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, well, there’s no way Beto’s going to fool Texas twice.

"One would think Beto got the message loud and clear when he lost to Senator Ted Cruz in 2018. And then there was that embarrassing run for president, when Joe Biden was actually picked from a crowded pool of candidates. If someone actually picked Joe Biden over me for any job on this planet, I would never show my face again.

"Yet, Beto somehow got the idea that the third time would be the charm, so he threw his hat in the ring against Abbott in a race that spent record-breaking amounts. In fact, its crazy to consider just how much money Democrats wasted trying to get Beto a seat at the table."

2020: A big hand for Beto O'Rourke and his amazing waving arms | Beto O'Rourke | The Guardian


It’s Official: Beto O’Rourke Set $164 Million In Democrat Dollars On Fire   "Serial Democrat candidate Robert Francis O’Rourke is no stranger to losing so it’s no surprise that his third attempt in four years to win an election, intended to unseat Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, was a massive failure.

"Possibly more surprising than that is, despite O’Rourke’s horrific losing streak, Democrats and their allies in the corrupt corporate media keep propping him with cash and press coverage designed to sustain him in future races.". . .

The Bidenflation Thanksgiving Bust: Prices Soar for Turkeys, Potatoes, Biscuits, Butter, and Gravy

 Breitbart


"Putting the big bird on the table at Thanksgiving is going to cost a lot more this year.

The price index that tracks Turkey and non-chicken poultry is up 16.9 percent.

The prices of other Thanksgiving staples are up as well.

  • The index that includes pies is up 18.6 percent.
  • Ice cream is up 13.3 percent.
  • Canned fruits, which include cranberry sauces, are up 18.7 percent.
  • Fresh potatoes are up 15.6 percent.
  • The index for rolls, biscuits, and muffins is up 13.6 percent.
  • Butter prices are up 26.7 percent.
  • Salad dressing is up 19.7 percent.
  • Gravy and sauce prices are up 14.6 percent.
  • Overall food at home prices are up 12.4 percent.

At least you’ll get some relief when it comes to washing it all down. The price of wine is up just 3.2 percent.

Want to work off those extra-holiday pounds?  The cost of the personal care services that includes personal trainers is up 5.7 percent. Practically a bargin in our age of Bidenflation."

‘Strangest election I’ve ever seen’: Stephen Moore at a loss over ‘angry’ voters choosing more of the same

Righteous outrage builds over Arizona’s ‘national disgrace’ of a voting process

BPR  "Reacting on the Fox News Channel to the GOP’s underperformance in the 2022 midterms on Tuesday, economist Stephen Moore described what happened as perhaps the strangest election he’s ever seen in his long career.

"Trace Gallagher introduced the segment by pointing out that polling suggested that the Democrats would be on the receiving end of a red-wave rout over the cost-of-living crisis.

" 'What’s your assessment?” he asked Moore, the FreedomWorks financial expert and former Trump advisor."


Ron DeSantis understands that the culture war is a winner

Suddenly, the people who were completely on board with the wonders of so-called transgenderism are less enthusiastic when it’s their beautiful teenage daughter insisting that she’s a guy named Albert and, by the way, please slice off her breasts. 

Andrea Widburg   "I have argued consistently that fighting against the “transgender” movement is a winner for conservatives. Once people have children, they become very protective of them and do not want their son’s weird, pierced, blue-haired kindergarten teacher to convince him he’s really a girl and, oh, by the way, don’t tell your mommy and daddy that. Ron DeSantis’s decisive victory in Florida indicates that the policy is a winner (with Glenn Youngkin’s 2020 Virginia victory suggesting the same).

"Today, the culture war’s importance got in my face in two ways. First, Gateway Pundit ran a post about one of the local winners in the Miss America contest in New Hampshire. This was at the town level. Next, there’ll be a state-wide contest, with the final winner going to the Miss America show. I have no interest whatsoever in the Miss America contest, but I do find interesting who is now “Miss Greater Derry”:

Pen Piper:   
Can anyone spot a difference between Brian and the other Miss America winners?



Conrad Black on Joe Biden

The Bidenization of America   

Those responsible for the elevation of this regime still cling to the theory that the dangers of reelecting Donald Trump justified drastic, unconstitutional means to install an alternative.   

"Day by day, as the Biden Administration crashes into utter shambles and a cloud of dust reminiscent of 9/11, the Bidenization of America becomes more stark and horrifying. 

"I can remember no more pitiful words from a senior American government official in 65 years than Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s complaint that the Taliban government in Kabul was disappointing in its lack of “inclusiveness.” (To be sure, that is not all it lacks, and that could hardly have been a surprise.) 

"Nor can I think of any diplomatic initiative by a senior American government official more certainly doomed to ludicrous failure than environment ambassador John Kerry’s recent trip to China requesting the collaboration of the People’s Republic in this administration’s hell-bent-for-leather assault on what it is trying to identify as climate change. 

"Completing this unprecedented trifecta of total foreign policy failure is the revelation in the New York Times, of all places (and for which it deserves credit, given the Times‘ full-body immersion in Biden’s election), that the opening cannon in Joe Biden’s “over the horizon” reassertion of America’s righteous presence in Afghanistan was not the drone-killing of two ISIS “planners” of outrages, but rather the killing of 10 complete innocents, including seven children.". . .   

Joe Biden Is a Total Failure   "As cant and emotionalism subside, it is becoming possible to give a clear and fair assessment of the performance of the Biden Administration and of the president himself: a total failure. 

"The shortfall of 500,000 in the expected net new job figures for August shows that stagflation is upon us: employers are afraid to hire employees as they normally would coming out of the COVID recession because they don’t know if they will be able to afford them. Hourly pay scales are increasing at 7.5 percent, new car prices at 10 percent, rental accommodation at 12 percent, and new homes at 20 percent, all well ahead of the official rate of inflation, contrary to the smug assurances of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and even some Federal Reserve spokespeople, that inflation was a mere bubble. 

"Historically, the only sustainable way of fighting stagflation has been to counter inflation with increased supply and achieve that goal and the corresponding non-inflationary increase in demand through the encouragement of demand in the tax system. The present administration is committed to raising taxes and to colossal spending increases, which will exacerbate both stagnation and inflation. 

"After 13 years of negligible interest rates, there isn’t much that’s useful left in the toolbox. The inflation of the sort that is already building up historically has been attacked by reducing demand and sharply increasing interest rates. Any such policy now would produce a disaster that would be a fiscal and monetary replication of the debacle in Afghanistan. Not since Herbert Hoover prescribed higher taxes, higher tariffs, and a shrinkage of the money supply as the remedy for the Great Depression has an American administration more poorly judged the policy prescriptions necessary to fight deteriorating economic conditions. 

"Biden’s answer to the surge in violent crime rates across urban America is pious lectures about guns, which incites both the anti-gun Left and the huge number of Americans (who consider their guns security against what otherwise would be a riptide of crime) to believe that guns are about to be confiscated unconstitutionally. The answer to crime rates is not in the suppression of access to guns for responsible citizens, as criminals always have guns; the answer is in greater numbers of better-trained police personnel and longer sentences for violent criminals.". . .

Beto Humiliated: People of Uvalde Give Him an Ugly Election-Night Surprise

 Western Journal.

Now, scenes like this one — where Beto harassed Abbott and other officials during a news conference about the Uvalde massacre — look ghoulish and pathetic:

"In the final weeks of his third failed attempt to seek higher office in four years, former congressman/serial loser Beto O’Rourke collapsed his campaign down to one issue — in fact, one proper noun: Uvalde.". . .

. . ."If there was anywhere in Texas he should have cleaned up on Election Day, then, it was Uvalde County. But not only did Beto lose there, he lost there by a wider margin than he did statewide.

"As of 9:10 a.m. Eastern, The Associated Press had Gov. Abbott leading O’Rourke by 54.9 percent to 43.8 percent. In Uvalde County, however, Abbott was beating O’Rourke by a 22-point margin.

"As Tony Plohetski of the Austin Statesman noted, this was in spite of the fact the shooting “sparked calls for change in Texas government and gun reform'.”
