into a laughingstock?

I’m beginning to think that hidden somewhere in the White House or Trump Tower there’s a magic wand that the president wields which turns his detractors— old Obama hands, make-believe conservative politicians and commentators, Democrats, and the media, into laughingstocks. If so, this weekend he waved it over the Washington Post. (snip) You’d think Baghdadi’s obituary would acknowledge what a monster he was. The header the Washington Post chose for this was originally
“Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Islamic State’s ‘terrorist-in-chief,’ dies at 48.”
It was changed to:
“Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi, austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State dies at 48.”
Why they changed it, I can’t say

It is not a magic wand (willow, Dragon heart core).
It is the inner Harry Truman.
He gives them the truth, and they think it is h***.

About 130 million votes cast in the '16 election. 70,000 went in the right places and right proportions to give us Trump instead of the Beast. THAT is the magic wand.

Trump allows evil to show itself without the evil realizing it has been outed. Trump really is a "Stable Genius".

Well done, Clarice!
She mentions Obama’s having turned the imprisoned al-Baghdadi loose in 2009 to go and perform some of his worst deeds. Including Kayla Mueller. Yet AP is busy this morning comparing the photos (“posed and unposed”) of Obama during the bin Laden raid and President Trump and his military advisers during the al-Baghdadi raid. Is that really all AP has to talk about? Have they really forgotten how al-Baghdad came to be turned loose on the world by feckless Obama after he had once been captured and imprisoned? AP should be ashamed...

About the WAPO changing its obituary of Bagdhadi, I’m sure the newsroom is overly staffed with Muslims, not just liberals.

Democrats typically prefer the devil they know to the devil who might replace them. Besides, having a named and well known threat makes it easier to force their agenda past the public. People won't give up their freedoms because of threats from nameless sources, but give the a Name, and they waver and cave.
Their (Democrats and other Swamp Monsters) motives care nothing for the nameless victims of their Named threats. It's all about accruing their power, regardless of the lives lost for little people. Its all about 'Optics'. About 'the Sound Bite'. At rare times when they are feeling safe and in control, they even admit what they are doing. Pure Evil in Human Guise. They are worse than hundreds of al-Baghdadis.

Excellent to clarify that BO LET THIS GUY GO and he went on to brutally murder lots of people. THAT is the kind of "leader" BO was. Trump knows that the best way to handle a terrorist is to eliminate them with extreme prejudice. It is telling that the slime took his own life and unfortunately that of some children (human shields?). It clarifies what he was, a craven monster.
The dems/Left/media is in agony because they HAVE to say that it's good that this terrorist is dead. But it is ashes in their mouths to do so because Trump is getting the credit. Further, they have to tread very lightly on any pushback because the fact that BO let this killer go is not something they want discussed. If they get too snippy, you can be sure it will be tweeted before too long.
It is hilarious to see the media beclowning itself.

Trump demonstrates that you need more than a winning argument. You need to fight for it, as well. First Republican in a generation to do it. And nothing but low-hanging fruit as far as the eye can see.

Newspapers and print have become the "little brothers" in media, demanding attention and respect in an electronic world with greater than ever potential to discover "the truth" if one looks and critically digests the available information. WaPo, NYT and others are slow to understand they are known outlets of propaganda, and discounted. It will only get worse for them, and others.

If your only source of news is the WaPo you are on another planet.

Speaking of the Market: The new York Times, the Washington (bleep) and CNN are all heading downhill.

Anyone who would bill Abu Bakr al Baghdadi as an austere religious scholar has to be nuts. What kind of a religion through their teachings would inform their scholars to become mass murderers in pursuit of religious aims, as the Washington Post unintentionally and stupidly pointed out, apparently only Islam.
The claim is now being make that President Trump’s foreign policy decisions are making it easier for surviving ISIS terrorist elements to come to the USA to plan and carry out future 9/11 style attacks. But if Trump’s approach to administering and effectively enforcing the immigration laws and the borderline, with new laws closing legal loopholes, opposed by the leftist and liberal Democrats, are eventually adopted, common sense will tell you that it is going to be very hard for new ISIS terrorist elements to get into the USA and stay here long enough to plan and carry out large scale terrorist attacks. No doubt there are already foreign ISIS supporters inside the USA, many who gained entry to the USA during the Obama era, who should be identified and deported from the USA.

If Trump accomplished that, Congratulations. I think there are enough true Americans that will bury the WaPo 6 feet underground.

Another liberal rag that I have never bought a copy of. Why upset your day with their steady stream of lies?

Miss Clarice hits it out of the park.... again!
Read again her last paragraph:
"Listening to these people I've come to believe that only God's hand prevented us from total disaster during Obama's eight years in office. Or maybe Trump's magic wand was charged and in operation that early."
