The Evening Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The news that the FBI was actually warned last September about the Florida school killer who won’t be named here has me seriously thinking that lopping the top brass off the nation’s supposed “premier law enforcement agency” just isn’t going to be enough to salvage the Bureau’s viability going forward. No, considering the Bureau’s long and growing record of consistently failing to stop tragedies from taking place, and it’s growing number of examples of bullying behavior and corruption, it may seriously be time to disband the entire thing and start over....

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? – The new Morning Consult Poll is out, and guess what? It now has the Republicans leading the Democrats in the generic congressional ballot for the first time in more than a year. The Ds led the Rs by 10 as recently as December 18. Meanwhile, President Trump’s job approval rating shot up in this poll, to 47% approve vs. 47% disapprove. Hey, remember all those breathless predictions in the fake news media of a Democrat tidal wave election coming in the November mid-terms? Yeah, we’re...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? Part I – The Democrats are starting to have second thoughts about their “all Trump hate, all the time” fake strategy for prevailing in this year’s mid-term elections. McClatchy News reports that, as the Rasmussen survey has the President’s approval rating hovering near 50%, the Democrats’ own internal polling has his standing now at 44%, up from 40% in November. Even worse for the Dems, their generic congressional polling has them now sitting with just a 46-42 advantage, less than half of their edge just a...

The Evening Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Former Obama Deputy Attorney General and very brief Acting Attorney General in the first days of the Trump Administration, Sally Yates, is suddenly becoming a major person of interest in the study of the actions of the Deep State Cabal, that group of corrupt FBI and DOJ officials who apparently attempted to tilt the 2016 election to Hillary Clinton and since have worked to undermine the Trump presidency at every turn. Ms. Yates had a brief moment in the spotlight back on January 30, 2017, when she was summarily fired by...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Note to self: Hi, Susan Rice, this is Susan Rice, writing to you, myself, me, on the last day of the Presidential Administration of Barack Hussein Obama, the legend, the hero, the immaculate ONE. Well, actually, he’s not President anymore, because it’s 12:15 on January 20, so that orange-faced bastard who we spent the last 8 months wiretap….er, opposing, is now technically the president. For now. We’ll see how long he lasts. Anywayyyyyys, I’ve never done this before, but I just thought today, my last day on the job, would be a...

The Evening Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Mark your calendars, folks: At 3:30 p.m. Central Standard Time, we reached peak progressive lunacy when the nitwits who run the Twitter feed for the far leftwing Podesta mob that calls itself “ThinkProgress” tweeted the following: Despite Mike Pence’s sabotage, North Korea’s ‘charm offensive’ appears to be working http://bit.ly/2nTUPEN Yes, fellow Americans, after a weekend of our fake news media engaging in one of the most shameful coordinated exercises in it history, glamorizing the monstrous sister of the Crazy Little Fat Guy in North Korea in its ongoing efforts to delegitimize...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Hillary Clinton voters in action: A Minnesota man named Edward LeRoy Wilson stole a car from a Wal Mart parking lot, but was arrested by police a few hours later after he called the owner from an auto repair shop to ask her why he couldn’t get the dang thing started again. After being arrested, he told police officers that he knew stealing the car “wasn’t a good idea,” but did it anyway. Holy cow. I swear I don’t make this stuff up. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein helped their favored Democrats...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Hey, NBC even does #Fakenews at the Olympics now! – The morons at NBC were forced to issue an on-air apology Saturday for embarrassingly stupid comments made by one of their reporters during Friday’s opening ceremonies. As the Japanese delegation paraded into the olympic stadium, reporter Joshua Cooper noted that Japan’s Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, was also in attendance, “representing Japan, a country which occupied Korea from 1910 to 1945 but every Korean will tell you that Japan is a cultural, technological and economic example that has been so important to their...

If you have been wondering for the last 15 months why it was that former bi-polar FBI Director James Comey, who had worked his butt off to help Hillary Clinton get elected in 2016, suddenly notified congress just 12 days before Election Day that the investigation into her illegal email server had been re-opened, The Gateway Pundit answers your question this morning. Turns out, he did that because he was basically forced into action when a Justice Department national security prosecutor named George Toscas found out about all the thousands of Hillary emails that turned up on Anthony Weiner’s laptop...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Hey, maybe that new law that makes it legal to poop on the sidewalks has something to do with this. – The good news is that people are packing up and leaving the Marxist enclave of San Francisco in record numbers. The bad news is that all those Californians are moving to other states and will start messing up the politics there. Because that’s what transplanted Californians do. Just ask Colorado. The Coughing Crook stages her comeback. – The Pantsuit Princess, after hiding out for most of the month of January, has...

The Evening Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) It was just another crazy week, but then, that could be said about every week over the last two and a half years, since Donald J. Trump and his lovely wife Melania rode the gold-plated escalator to the first floor of Trump Tower to announce his run for the presidency. Here’s a brief review of the highlights of what the country has experienced over the last seven days. The week began with release of the FISA Abuse Memo and the fake media/Democrat campaign to try to diminish the importance of that...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? Part I – Food stamp enrollments dropped by more than 4 million from October to November of last year, the Labor Department announced yesterday. That is the largest single-month decrease in such filings ever recorded. Tired of all this Winning yet? Part II – The Labor Department also reported that new claims for unemployment benefits last week dropped to 221,000, the lowest number of such claims recorded in 45 years. So despite the ongoing correction in the stock markets, the economy just keeps winning. I’ve always...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? – Hey, remember when the fake news media spent the last 13 months telling you President Donald Trump (I never tire of typing those words) was a “historically unpopular” president. Yeah, that’s a lie. In the current Rasmussen survey, the President’s approval rating of 48% is 4 points higher than Barack Obama’s approval at the same point in his first term in office. Good times…good times… Speaking of lies and lying liars, Barack Hussein Obama was back in the news in a big way on Wednesday....

The Evening Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The all-knowing, all-seeing, omnipotent “global warming” can now change your personality. No kidding. So claim researchers at the Columbia Business School (why are researchers at a “business” school studying global warming?). “As climate change continues across the world, we may also observe concomitant changes in human personality,” reads the study, published in the journal Nature on Tuesday. Hey, it’s already working on me – every time I read an article about some fake study making some increasingly bizarre claim about the effects of “global warming”, it pisses me off that much...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? Part I – The stock market bounced back on Tuesday after a week of big losses, with the Dow gaining 567 points on the day. So, after spending a week breathlessly blaming President Donald Trump for the market’s losses, the fake hosts at CNN and MSNBC can now go back to giving credit for the market’s gains to Barack Hussein Obama. ‘Cuz that’s what the fake news media does. Tired of all this Winning yet? Part II – New texts released Wednesday morning between disgraced FBI...

The Evening Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Hey, remember when bug-eyed California Rep. Adam Schiff accused President Trump of “colluding” with Russian agents? Yeah, it turns out that’s actually what Adam Schiff has been doing – or at least, he hoped he was. The UK Daily Mail reported earlier today that Schiff, in an effort to dig up dirt on the President, took a call from a man he thought was Andriy Parubiy, the chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament, but who was actually a Russian comedian that is part of a comedy act called Voyan and Lexus, who...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Losing yet? – The stock markets continued their week-long fall on Monday, with the Dow tanking a record 1175 points on the day. Remember all that money you made in your 401(k) in January? Yeah, that’s gone. Nervous analysts and traders stood around after the market closed telling fake reporters that this is just your normal correction, which in truth is long overdue. They don’t really know whether that’s true or not, but let’s all hope they are. The House Intelligence Committee voted unanimously to release the Democrats’...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) NBC joined the Alinskyite demonization of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes in earnest on Saturday with a stunningly illogical piece from a University of Texas law professor named Steve Vladeck. NBC’s web minions label the opinion piece a “Hot Take,” but what it really is is an unintentionally hilarious hot mess. Vladeck’s thesis is that FBI Director Christopher Wray simply must – must, I say – resign over the release of what Vladeck calls the “Nunes Memo” because, well, I’ll let him tell you in this wonderfully illogical passage: “Wray shouldn’t...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Losing yet? – The Dow dumped 665 points on Friday, as fears that the rapidly growing economy will create a new round of inflation. For the week, the Dow was off almost 1,000 points, giving up the majority of the gains made during January. If you’re going to have economic problems, issues like this one related to a rapidly growing economy beat the heck out of issues related to a stagnant one, like we experienced from 2008 through 2016, but still, it’s a problem. Tired of all this...
