I'm not big on recycling, and have even run afoul of the volunteer recycling police at our little community here, who discovered that I had put cardboard in the garbage dumpster.
So permit me to atone for my crimes against the planet by recycling one of my columns from five years ago.
I do so in response to Joe Scarborough's castigation of President Trump on today's Morning Joe for having criticized Democrats at yesterday's National Prayer Breakfast, suggesting that they oppose God. (Some of us remember the 2012 Democrat convention, where a large number of Dems loudly screamed as they restored a mention of God to the party platform.)
Insisting he was "not preaching," Pastor Joe went on to cite Scripture, in effect accusing Trump of being a bad Christian.

The column detailed that in the previous few years, Scarborough had:
Called President Trump a "thug" and a "goon."
Written that Trump "is not mentally equipped to continue watching our show."
Smeared Trump in one long breath as a "bumpkin, fool, idiot, stupid old blubbery man who doesn’t know what he’s doing; weakest leader on the planet;” suffering from "pre-dementia.”
Called Trump a "jackass" and "plain out stupid."
Accused Trump of “malignant idiocy,” and transforming into a “tyrannical president.”
Called Trump a "schmuck," a vulgar Yiddish term, and compared him to a kid "pooping his pants."
In more recent times, Scarborough has made a cottage industry of calling Trump a fascist and even "full-on Hitler." Our Alex Christy has reported that, based on an analysis of a year's worth of comments, Scarborough won the dubious distinction of being "The King of Nazi Analogies."

Scarborough IS A. CLOWN.
WHO WOULD WASTE THEIR TIME WATCHING THIS CLOWN ??

Did they get their funding from USAID?
The same Nielsen that had its accreditation suspended in 2021 for inaccurate data?
Why, yes, of course it was, as I'll bet you knew. And it has been reinstated. Again, please let us know where there we can find more accurate numbers.
Think about who and what reinstated them. The so-called Media Ratings Council, another “independent” “nonprofit” agency that was the brainchild of yet another Democratic politician. And the reinstatement was done in spite of no evidence of correction of problems that led to the suspension.
Joe Scarborough’s a professional at making an ass of himself and it comes natural to him.
Any publicity is good publicity.
“Good publicity is preferable to bad, but from a bottom - line perspective, bad publicity is sometimes better than no publicity at all. Controversy, in short, sells”

Sometimes, I suppose. But I fail to see how poking fun at Scarborough on FR does any good for his bottom line.
Many millions of dollars of advertising revenue are ratings based. But thanks for letting us know that the numbers are meaningless. I'll keep that in mind.
No; millions of dollars in ad revenue are based on promoting a left-wing narrative.
Opus?
OK.
Opus?
??? I'm not musically inclined.
