Former CBS news anchor Dan Rather said President-elect Donald Trump's response to climate change was alarming and scientists should make it a top priority to engage the incoming administration on the issue. "Make no mistake; science was on the ballot this fall," Rather wrote in a Scientific American essay published Monday. "And almost nobody took notice.

Favoring unrestricted illegal immigration, porous borders, government-mandated racial discrimination, and urging the assassination of police officers as these left-wingers do, is profoundly un-American It didn’t work in the election cycle and it won’t work now. The election of Donald Trump as president of the United States is proof that the “racist” smear no longer carries the sting it used to in American politics. For promising to get tough on illegal immigration and making demonstrably true observations about the criminal scum invading the nation from the south, Trump was pilloried as a bigot.

Idaho Trump electors report ‘barrage’ of harassing messages urging them to change votes By Betsy Z. Russell bzrussell@gmail.com (208) 336-2854 MONDAY, NOV. 14, 2016, 3:45 P.M. Idaho’s four presidential electors say they have been getting harassing phone calls, emails and Facebook messages urging them to become “faithless electors” and not cast their votes for Donald Trump in the electoral college. “A lot of ’em use bad, rough language,” said Layne Bangerter, one of the four electors. “Nothing I feel intimidated over. But we’re watching it very closely. They’ve got our home phone numbers, our cell numbers, our emails, our Facebook....

The mainstream media bias against Donald Trump isn’t letting up anytime soon. If anything, it’s heating up. President-elect Trump was badgered by “60 Minutes” host Lesley Stahl, who demanded to know why he’s not stopping the protests raging across the country. The condescending Stahl apparently forgot that: (1) Trump isn’t in office yet; (2) He just got elected 6 days ago, and (3) Most of the violent riots/protests are ANTI-Trump.

Politics Oregon Bully Who Took Down Christian Bakery Tossed Out in Election In 2013, Oregon Democrat Brad Avakian, as commissioner of the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, put a Christian bakery out of business because its owners stood up for their religious convictions. Fast forward to 2016 and Avakian, not unlike many of his fellow Democrats, got served a big slice of sweet justice. Sweetcakes by Melissa, owned by Melissa and Aaron Klein, was forced out of business by Avakian and the BOLI in 2013. Klein told Independent Journal Review that they were fined $135,000 and the state garnished...

When People Laughed At The Idea Of Trump Actually Being Elected President! Compilation

Earlier this week, John Sexton wrote about “the unbearable smugness of the media” with a specific focus on CBS News’ Will Rahn. His critique of his own profession was almost admirable and no doubt caused a number of other media outlets to engage in some navel gazing. There was another admission of sorts this week coming from the New York Times. The editors sent out a letter which only went to their paid subscribers and in it they supposedly address some of their shortcomings in covering the 2016 election. This led Michael Goodwin at the New York Post to describe...

President-elect Trump is refusing to let up on his criticism of the media, blasting the New York Times Sunday morning for publishing "highly inaccurate" coverage of his presidential bid. "Wow the [New York Times] is losing thousands of subscribers because of their very poor and highly inaccurate coverage of the Trump phenomena," the incoming Republican president wrote on Twitter.

A private conference call Thursday with Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, communications director Jennifer Palmieri and other aides addressed what Ms. Palmieri called “the most devastating loss in the history of American politics,” The Hill reported Thursday. . . . “The media always covered [Mrs. Clinton] as the person who would be president and therefore tried to eviscerate her before the election, but covered Trump who was someone who was entertaining and sort of gave him a pass,” Mr. Podesta said. “We need to reflect and analyze that and put our voices forward.”

In the letter to subscribers, signed by both Sulzberger and Executive Editor Dean Baquet, the pair said they promise to "rededicate ourselves to the fundamental mission of Times journalism. That is to report America and the world honestly, without fear or favor, striving always to understand and reflect all political perspectives and life experiences in the stories that we bring to you. . . . "Because it demonized Trump from start to finish, it failed to realize he was onto something," Goodwin writes. "And because the paper decided that Trump's supporters were a rabble of racist rednecks and homophobes, it...

In a letter from its owner and executive editor, the New York Times, a biased media outlet which together with the rest of the liberal press misreported on the presidential race - whether due to conflicts of interest or due to sheer stupidity - from day one, leading to such idiotic forecasts as an 86% probability for Hillary to win as recently as one week ago (contrast with our own prediction): [Snip] ... Arthur Sulzberger, the owner and publisher of the NYT, promised that the paper would "reflect" on its coverage of this year's election, as it "rededicates" itself to...

President-elect Donald Trump never hid his contempt for the news media during the campaign and has continued to keep the press at bay after winning the election, raising concerns he will end the tradition of allowing a pool of reporters to cover his every move in public. Mr. Trump, who at campaign rallies regularly denounced the news media as "the most dishonest people you'll ever meet," has support for breaking the tradition and keeping the public in the dark about his daily whereabouts. "I don’t think Trump needs the press pool," said Rep. Duncan Hunter, a California Republican who is...

Bias: The one-word explanation for why the liberal media were completely caught off guard by the groundswell of support for Donald Trump among working class families: Obama. In his book on the 2008 presidential election, former CBS News correspondent Bernie Goldberg titled it "A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (and Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media." Like any such torrid romance, the mainstream media never could see the flaws in the object of their deep and abiding affection. That devotion continued unabated for eight years. So, as a result, as failure piled on...

Donald Trump Election Protest: Bro Dude's Epic Live TV Meltdown on CNN

"We want you to know the Society is prepared and ready to work with President-elect Donald J. Trump and his administration to ensure journalists continue to function free and without fear of prosecution — as intended by our Founding Fathers," the statement said. "However, you may, understandably, be concerned about the future. We saw a campaign trail littered with attacks against 'the media' and journalists from both sides. President-elect Trump's past comments and actions about and toward the press foreshadows a potentially dangerous reality."

Blue-sters: Welcome to living in a world of isolation CHICAGO - It's evidently scary and somewhat traumatizing for Liberals to realize that there's half a population in America that sees things totally different from them. And there's a sizable number in the only blue Midwestern state of Illinois, too. What Liberals don't understand is that those that see the world from a traditional conservative perspective have been fully aware of the Leftist view imposed upon them and have psychologically learned to deal with it. It has made conservatives stronger and more committed to liberty than ever as they've watched the...

There’s a place for opinionated journalism; in fact, it’s vital. But our causal, profession-wide smugness and protestations of superiority are making us unable to do it well. Our theme now should be humility. We must become more impartial, not less so. We have to abandon our easy culture of tantrums and recrimination. We have to stop writing these know-it-all, 140-character sermons on social media and admit that, as a class, journalists have a shamefully limited understanding of the country we cover. What’s worse, we don’t make much of an effort to really understand, and with too few exceptions, treat the...

It's my birthday. There's a good possibility that adult beverages are involved. I have been laughing since 3:00 am yesterday. For whatever reason I started searching YouTube to see the lib reaction to President-Elect Donald J Trump's win. Riots, Trump Tower "protected" with barriers and dump trucks. "Protests" in major cities. Except just a few. Like someone set them up. Just saying. Then I switched to MSNBC for Morning Joe for real time reaction. It is stunning. There is no disguising their disgust and disbelief. Sweet birthday present for me but Jeez Louise - this is a news station? Dang!...
