Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) [Warning: This is the first PG-13 version of Today’s Campaign Update. Today’s Campaign Update will return to its traditional PG format tomorrow.] - Me and Rush, tight as ticks. – I caught Rush Limbaugh’s opening segment the last two days, and I’m beginning to think he’s reading my Daily Campaign Updates during his daily show prep. If you listen to the first 8 minutes of his show the last two days and compare that to what I wrote, there’s a lot of not just the same points, but a lot of exact...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) - Oprah’s going to regret ever having given that speech. – Harvey Weinstein’s best pal for 20 years now finds herself getting just a small taste of what her carefully-constructed facade will be subjected to if she really does attempt to mount a run for the presidency. She has now been irrevocably exposed as one of Weinstein’s closest confidants over the last two decades, her history of pushing conspiracies on her TV show is being revisited, her promotion of a facial cream made partially from babies’ foreskins is being revisited, and even...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) - In my new year’s predictions piece (2018 Will Be A Wild and Crazy Year in Trump’s America) I predicted that “The crisis with North Korea will be resolved without a shot being fired.” In case you hadn’t noticed – because the fake news media is spending as little time covering it as possible – a few days after that piece was published, the Crazy Little Fat Guy called his counterpart in South Korea to request that the two countries engage in bi-lateral negotiations. Those talks commenced on Monday, and have already...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) - Daily Wire reports that a young lady named Maria Ana Carrola Flores, a student at UC San Diego, is suing the school for allowing her to do stupid things. No, I didn’t make that up. It seems Ms. Flores participated in an anti-Trump rally the day after Election Day 2016 (because she and her fellow snowflake students didn’t get their way and mommy wasn’t around for them to whine to), and was hit by a car when several of them tried to block a nearby freeway. We should all hope she...

NBC deleted a tweet posted during Sunday night’s Golden Globes telecast which appeared to endorse the suggestion made by host Seth Meyers that Oprah Winfrey should be president of the U.S. “Nothing but respect for OUR future president,” NBC tweeted during the comedian’s monologue on Sunday night. […] The original tweet met with outrage from conservatives — including Donald Trump Jr. and former White House press secretary Sean Spicer — as well as members of the media who said it called into question the network’s objectivity. …

Today’s Campaign Update – Special Liberal/Media Narrative Edition Today’s new Liberal/Media Trump narrative: he doesn’t spend enough time working!!!!! We’re all gonna die!!!!!!!! Seriously, thanks to a special report published this morning by the reliably liberal Axios – based of course solely on unidentified “officials” and “aides” – social media is all a-twitter (and I guess all a-Facebook) with this new fantasy-based national emergency. Ok, so lets think this through using liberal “logic”, such as it is: – Liberals hate Trump with a passion – check! – Liberals believe Trump is evil – check! – Liberals believe Trump is suffering...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) - The Golden Globe Awards were held last night, and Oprah was apparently elected president. At least, that’s what NBC’s official Twitter feed appeared to indicate early in the evening. So it must be official, or something. - I didn’t watch the Golden Globes, which I know comes as a gigantic shock to all of you, but I do watch Twitter, and on that platform I see that Oprah told the assembled Hollywood phonies that “There is nothing more important than speaking your truth.” Note to President Oprah: There is no such...

CNN Anti-Trump Hack is BUSTED! Liberal CNN Hack Ana Navarro Caught Editing Photo to Trash POTUS Trump And Ana Navarro is reportedly the REPUBLICAN contributor at CNN! On Sunday morning Ana Navarro – a Hillary Clinton supporter – ripped President Trump and Republicans in a racist and sexist tweet. Navarro attacked the “orangey” hues of President Trump and accused him of only meeting with “10 old straight white men” at Camp David. Ana Navarro @ananavarro 10 old straight white men met in Camp David to set the legislative agenda for America. Oops! Let me correct myself. Paul Ryan isn't old....

Paul Sperry of The New York Post said an ex-Trump campaign advisor told him prominent DC journalists admitted to him DURING the campaign they KNEW Hillary Clinton was behind the Russia dossier yet they continued to report as if the salacious document was legit intelligence! Sperry tweeted: Article Continues Below Grigor Dimitrov Is The Next Big Thing in Tennis Sponsored by Connatix Sperry: “BREAKING: ex-Trump campaign adviser says prominent Washington journalists told him DURING CAMPAIGN (early as Sept 2016) they KNEW Hillary Clinton was behind the anti-Trump dossier, and yet they SAT ON that critical information for a FULL YEAR...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) - Tired of all this Winning yet? Part I – Remember how, according to all your liberal friends, President Donald Trump (I never tire of typing those three words) is supposed to be a racist? Yeah, that cat don’t flush. The African American unemployment rate dropped to 6.8% in December, its lowest recording since records began being kept in 1972. Hispanic unemployment was 4.9%, a near-all-time record. Both measures were well below levels during the Obama years. - Tired of all this Winning yet? Part II – Newsbusters has a great list...

I have some personal knowledge regarding the movie The Post and its subject matter, the Pentagon Papers. At the time the Pentagon Papers began to be published in the summer of 1971, my father was highly placed in the Internal Security Division of the Justice Department and participated in the decision-making process regarding prosecution of the Pentagon Papers cases. I have a specific recollection around that time of my father at the breakfast table with the family, on several mornings, suddenly breaking out in a cursing rage. I was perplexed by this behavior, but after a while, a pattern emerged....

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) - Tired of all this Winning yet? Part I – The federal government shrank by 16,000 jobs during 2017, while the nation’s manufacturing sector added 196,000 jobs. That, friends, is winning, bigly. - Tired of all this Winning yet? Part II – Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and fellow member Lindsey Graham referred the infamous Christopher Steele, author of the fake anti-Trump dossier to the FBI and DOJ for criminal investigation. This is the first criminal referral made by any of the various congressional committees that have spent the last year investigating...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) - Tired of all this Winning yet? Part I – For the first time ever, the Dow Jones Industrial average closed above the 25,000 mark on Thursday, as the Trump economy continues to boom. This close represents the 89th time the Dow has closed at an all-time record high since the day after Election Day, 2016. Somewhere, NYTimes fake economist Paul Krugman, who famously predicted the markets would “never recover” from Trump’s victory on Election Night, is cringing. - Tired of all this Winning yet? Part II – Americans for Tax Reform...

President Trump boasted Tuesday evening that he had a “nuclear button” that is “much bigger” and “more powerful” than North Korea’s, again prompting fears that an errant tweet could lead to a nuclear conflict. (It is worth noting that there is no nuclear button.) Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) - Hollywood fraud Meryl Streep still can’t bring herself to talk about what she knew and when she knew it when it comes to her “god,” Harvey Weinstein, but she damn sure can go back 39 years take a shot at Dustin Hoffman for a slap in a scene from Kramer vs. Kramer, which she says now was “overstepping.” So, take that, all you 80 year-old actors who no longer have enough influence to help Meryl Streep command $20 million fees for making movies! - Speaking of Hollywood, the Golden Globes Awards...

On the afternoon of November 8, 2016, Kellyanne Conway settled into her glass office at Trump Tower. Right up until the last weeks of the race, the campaign headquarters had remained a listless place. All that seemed to distinguish it from a corporate back office were a few posters with right-wing slogans. Conway, the campaign’s manager, was in a remarkably buoyant mood, considering she was about to experience a resounding, if not cataclysmic, defeat. Donald Trump would lose the election — of this she was sure — but he would quite possibly hold the defeat to under six points. That...

Desperation Really Takes Hold At The New York Times January 3, 2018 by David Blackmon - Some web-based outlet called “The Outline” tells us this morning that Justin Timberlake is “re-branding himself as a white man.” Pretty sure Michael Jackson already tried that, and it didn’t work out so well. I swear I don’t make this stuff up. - Next time we elect a Democrat president, we will see this in the United States. – Germany’s globalists are now making it literally illegal to be a nationalist. Using the rubrick of “hate speech” laws, the government of Angela Hitler, er,...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) - Former Obama UN Ambassador Susan Rice, who is most famous for lying to the entire world about what got our people killed in the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi in 2012, weighed in on the demonstrations in Iran: “How can Trump help Iran’s protesters? Be quiet.” That, of course, was the posture Barack Obama took towards a similar uprising in 2009, which helped sentence Iranians to 9 more years of rule under the yoke of the radical mullahs, who the Obama Administration actively supported and awarded access to hundreds of billions of...

The press' credibility problem took a turn for the worse this year. Chalk it up to bias, sloppiness, or sheer panic in response to the election of Donald Trump, but the bottom line for 2017 is that there was a shocking decline in the quality and reliability of political journalism. Instead of adjusting adeptly to Trump's easy relationship with the truth and his tendency to abuse members of the news media, a significant number of political journalists and commentators tripped over themselves to repeat every bit of gossip, thinly sourced claim and half-cocked rumor. These stories fell short of the...
