How to Miss a Big-Time Political Point

We have a president who dons fatigues and steel-toed boots whenever he enters a room full of politicians and media types, promptly takes an axe to the refreshment table, and then invites all in the assemblage to put up their dukes. All oblige — like now, when the big national story, which doesn’t bear repeating after the last couple of days, is the president’s venture into racial commentary via tweets about the Democrats’ four furthest-left congresswomen, who, along with their party and the media, are duly outraged. They ought to be. He’s campaigning

Comments:

Over the last several years, I learned not to question the President until he has time to show us his hidden points. They are always good ones.

The commentary is seriously counter factual. FTA: "the president’s venture into racial commentary via tweets about the Democrats’ four furthest-left congresswomen.... READ his words. There is NOTHING WHATSOEVER "racial commentary" about anything he said. This is a LIE. And the Republicans are buying it. READ WHAT HE SAID, darn it. There is zero racial content. ZERO.

Sorry Murchison, I vigorously disagree. There can be no tasteful engagement or peaceful dialogue with the Left. They fight a nasty 'win at all costs' war however much we might yearn for the days that after hours our politicians laid down their verbal arms and had drinks at the bar together. Instead of storming the Normandy beaches do you think that we should have doubled down on diplomacy while ethnic cleansing gassed millions of Jews from across Europe? Trump was elected PRECISELY because he understood the anger of millions of deplorables whose religious beliefs and culture were being trashed along with the government for which many have died. And more importantly, he was elected BECAUSE he was finally a politician willing to fight the war on the 'enemies' turf using THEIR own strategies. He was elected because he WASN'T a nice guy. Is he someone I want to marry my sister - No. But then I wasn't looking for a President as my brother-in-law.

While there was nothing racist in Trump's tweet, I do not believe that he did not know exactly what he was doing. So, for the purpose of Murchison's point the way he referred to it was perfectly valid. However, while it would be nice to have more substantive discussions as the author desires, the Democrats have perfected the art of using anything said on such things to sound wrong if it disagrees with them. Trump was elected because he knows how to get them to over-react and reveal their true thoughts.

The best defense is an offense. PDT understands the media and the public. He knows how to play the game. Here's what is actually happening: In past weeks PDT has been accused of everything from "inhumane" behavior to rape. The BIG LIE of Russian collusion is exposed and wallowing in the swamp. The "threat" of impeachment is in the air. What PDT did is to attack the weakest Dem congressional link, the four fools who comprise "The Squad". Pelosi has a problem now, and she blew it with this floor speech calling PDT racist and de facto supporting the fools she has failed to neutralize and the media loves. More importantly, it drove the other rubbish from the water cooler conversation - which PDT anticipated. Look, this is war, not a re-election campaign. PDT understands to fight he must survive, and knows the worst is yet to come after Labor Day. He needs to politically survive the early campaign, when the Uniparty will do its worst to smear him and all around him. Let's see, besides condemned for "racism", today it's only a 1992 conversation about girls with Epstein, trying to keep the simmer running. Drip...drip...drip... This is what PDT is fighting. Meanwhile, Mitt is in the wings...

President Trump’s Foreign Policy Fiasco 12 replies
Posted by Periwinkel 8/20/2019 1:06:58 PM Post Reply
A major loss has occurred in the Trump administration, one that undermines the hard work to conceive and implement a literal “Trump Doctrine” in foreign policy, and it appears that President Trump is unaware of what fully happened or what’s at stake. He didn’t initiate the change. This action was taken by a group under Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a coup by insiders. It’s an abrupt step that has shocked foreign-policy voices as diverse as Condoleezza Rice and George Shultz and Henry Kissinger and Newt Gingrich.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (WV) appears to have started to shift his views on the filibuster with remarks that he made on two news shows on Sunday morning.The shift from Manchin comes after he has repeatedly stated that he would not vote to end the filibuster, despite pressure from the far-Left. During the interviews on Sunday, Manchin repeatedly claimed that he was not open to ending the filibuster because he did not want to strip the minority party of their power in the Senate, but signaled that he was open to changing it.Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Manchin if he would consider “reforming the filibuster” if “Republicans

In an open letter released Sunday, Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden urged him to “honor his commitment” and include the Hyde Amendment in Democrats’ $1.9 trillion COVID-19 spending package, writing “we feel used and betrayed.” The letter states: We are very disappointed about the COVID-19 relief package’s exclusion of the Hyde Amendment, a longstanding bipartisan policy that prevents taxpayer funding for abortion.

If you had any doubts that Meghan Markle is a manipulative piece of work, her bombshell Oprah interview Sunday night dumping on the British monarchy would set you straight. Prince Harry’s American wife accused his family of hateful racism against her baby, claimed they refused to protect her and drove her to the point of suicide.She made the incendiary and implausible charge that when she was pregnant with Archie, the royal family decreed that her unborn son would be denied the title of “prince” because her mixed race meant he might have dark skin.

Pelosi’s HR1 bill a blatant power grab for Democrats 30 replies

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

President Biden on Monday seemed to forget Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s name at a White House event—calling the Pentagon chief “the guy who runs that outfit over there.” Biden was announcing the nomination of two female generals to lead US military combatant commands. “And I want to thank the sec—the, the, ah former general. I keep calling him general, but my, my—the guy who runs that outfit over there,” Biden said.(Snip) Earlier at the event, Biden mentioned the Defense Department leader by his name, “Secretary Austin,” while appearing to read from a teleprompter.

The Royal Family was left reeling this morning after Meghan Markle tearfully revealed that the stress of royal life made her suicidal when she was five months pregnant, claimed Archie was denied the title of prince because he is mixed-race and said Kate Middleton made her cry before she married Harry in a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.The couple also chose to reveal that they are having a baby girl to the tens of millions of people watching the CBS show broadcast in the US before accusing the Royal Family of racism and revealing the deep rift 'Megxit' has caused with Prince Charles and Prince William.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Without question, the vast majority of Americans who support former President Donald Trump were angry and frustrated throughout 2020 passed with barely a mention of then-U.S. Attorney John Durham’s criminal investigation into the FBI’s fraudulent “Russiagate” counterterrorism operation directed at his 2016 campaign.In the weeks before the November election, word got out that then-Attorney General William Barr wasn’t going to announce any indictments or even a report on Durham’s investigation because he did not want to influence the outcome.So far, in fact, the only indictment to come out of the Durham probe is that of former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who essentially got a slap on the wrist

Rep. Steve Cohen vowed to renew the push to remove former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s name from the bureau’s downtown Washington headquarters, according to an interview released Monday. Appearing on Yahoo! News’ Skullduggery podcast, the Tennessee Democrat said the effort is getting a fresh look after the release of a new movie highlighting the FBI’s secret program to discredit civil rights activists. The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details

“There must have been a moment, at the beginning, when we could have said –-no. But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
