Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Media blackout on anything positive continues. – On his way to Japan Friday, President Donald Trump (I still never tire of typing those three glorious words) stopped in Alaska to visit with U.S. troops there, an appropriate gesture given that honoring America’s military and its veterans is the entire purpose of the Memorial Day holiday.
The troops cheered and, unlike their reaction whenever Barack Hussein Obama his own self would make such a visit, were obviously excited and thrilled to be in the presence of the President. Naturally, I had to go to the semi-conservative Washington Examiner’s website to find any news coverage of the visit. Undeterred as always, the President gave us his own coverage via his Twitter account, including a clip of the gathering:

Our national news media remains America’s worst historic disgrace. This truth of modern society has never been demonstrated more starkly than in the current behavior by the Democrat members in the U.S. House of Representatives, by Obama appointees in the courts, and our fake news media’s enabling of that behavior.
In fact, what we have seen since January from doddering, gibberish-spewing San Fran Nan and her evil minions is a clear illustration of the major weakness of the U.S. Constitution.
See, the men who drafted that document, which is quite possibly the most impressive piece of genius ever conceived by the human mind, were all men of good intent, men who loved American and the very idea of the creation and maintenance of a constitutional Republican form of government. And they were being covered every day by a press – what they referred to as the Fourth Estate and considered to be a crucial element to any free society – that, though it had major faults and biases, was dedicated to holding those in power accountable to the people.
The fundamental weakness of the document they created back during May-September of 1787 is that it assumes that future generations of Americans would continue to send people of good intent, people who love their country and want it to prosper in the world, to represent them in the U.S. Congress. The Constitution also presumes that the Fourth Estate would continue to pursue its societal duty of serving as the people’s watchdog, dedicated to holding all those in power accountable to the public.
These two elements are absolutely key to the healthy maintenance of the separation of powers between our three branches of government – without them, power-mad zealots would be able to run amok as they abuse and distort the system, and deny one or both of the other branches of government the ability to perform their necessary and envisioned duties.
We have seen such abusive behavior from Obama appointees in the federal courts since January, 2017. An array of these seditious people have made a practice of issuing a seemingly-endless series of lawless decisions and national injunctions, all designed to deny the Trump Administration the ability to govern the nation. This is all by design, a part of the “Lawfare” strategy developed by Obama and his fellow America-haters specifically in anticipation of the election of the next Republican president. It is un-American, it is seditious, it is lawless, and it is frankly evil. Sadly, our nation’s corrupt, fake media establishment ignores the serial abuses of these judges and refuses to inform the vast majority of citizens about the truth of this intentional strategic initiative.
Since January of this year, we have seen the committees in the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives weaponize the legislative branch of our government in a second effort to deny a duly-elected President of the United States the ability to govern the nation. This strategy is designed to keep the executive branch so preoccupied with a vast array of baseless investigations that again, it is unable to properly carry out its duties and implement the policies it was elected to affect.
Again, our fake national news media is mute on the reality of all of this, intentionally refusing to inform its viewers and readers of the seditious mendacity being practiced daily by the Democrats.
It is vitally important that those of us who are “woke” to all of this understand what has really happened, that we as a nation have a major political party that no longer elects people of good intent who love our country and want it to prosper in the world. The Democrat Party simply no longer has any priority other than the acquisition and maintenance of political power for its own sake.
If we had anything resembling a media establishment dedicated to holding those in power accountable to the people, the Democrat Party could not possibly ever win another election of any kind with its current lawless philosophy. But we must understand and accept that our society has also lost this crucial element so necessary to its survival as a free nation. That loss may be irretrievable, given the sorry state of our system of higher education and our nation’s journalism schools.
All of this is why the road upon which Attorney General William Barr is so vitally important. Because, the Obama Administration organized an effort to fix the 2016 presidential election in favor of its party’s candidate, and then, having failed that, extended that effort into an outright coup attempt. This is now crystal clear to any informed, thoughtful person of good intent in our society.
If there is no punishment, no consequences for having committed such a high crime, a literal atrocity against the very foundations of our society, then what incentive would San Fran Nan and Chuck Schumer and the rest of the despicable leadership of the Democrat Party ever have to modify their behavior?
There must. be. consequences.
That is all.

You have said it, and clearly. The media is irresponsible and a disgrace. It is 100% on the side of the hate America crowd. It willingly and deliberately lies to promote the demise of America.
No more useless, endless foreign wars when we need one right here desperately.
Between the leftist press, leftist judges, and leftist politicians it does feel very much like our country has been occupied by an enemy power.
And, with only the leftist media to go by, it often seems like they’re winning every day, on every front, no matter what good people try to do to fight them.
I have long held the belief that members of the Media should be subject to the very same background checks and scrutiny that is applied to every gun owner.
CW-II is coming, thanks to the media.
And I, for one at least, will gladly look sideways when the media pays the price following the conclusion of the conflict,
Media promoting impeachment for no good reason but political and ratings.
“Between the leftist press, leftist judges, and leftist politicians it does feel very much like our country has been occupied by an enemy power.”
You forgot the leftist “educational” system that provides the fools to believe the others.
When the bleeding civil war starts how long before the stooges in the media realize coverage from the front lines is not a very safe place for them to be? The press will do what they’re so good at, stand back with their leftist masters and make sh!t up.
AP story in my local fishwrap today is about how Barr will use declass to support “ Trump’s lies”.
We were WAY too nice to Obama.
The Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) dutifully read from the exact same talking points every day. They literally exist in a political echo chamber.
“We were WAY too nice to Obama.”
I am just hoping that the time for correcting that mistake is coming soon.
To instill integrity back into the news media it will be necessary to dismantle and forever block all ultra wealthy foreigners from ownership of the US MSM outlets. And even that may not be the answer to clean it up but it would be a good start.
When the SHTF they won’t even have buildings to hide in. We already know who they are and where they live. They won’t stand a chance.
There is obviously a new version of the ‘JournoList’ in existence, maybe better hidden than before. As demonstrated by Rush and Hannity, the amazing similarity in the choice of words and phrases used by the Trump-hating alphabet networks is way beyond a coincidence. The surprising thing is that the Dumb-As-Rocks news anchors do not bother to disguise their ‘conformity. I still maintain that the news readers are just that - brainless readers of the Teleprompter script created by their producers. That group did not enjoy the exposure of the JournoList; time to do it again and find the origin of the Hive Mind’s information.
... which gives aid and comfort to the enemy.
Yes, contempt for TRUTH, the most dangerous evil abroad in the land today.
I did not know where he was getting his information until I tuned into CNN for a short time that CNN was posting face thumbnails of Trump's indicted associates with a body count. This is where my acquaintance was getting his information. CNN to my knowledge, was not reporting on the circumstances of the FISA warrant and whether it was "predicated", and that the warrant may well have been based on disinformation Hillary Clinton purchased from the Russians. CNN has been lying about the "collusion" for over 2 1/2 years!
How are we going to settle things politically if there is a propaganda network (mainstream media) to which half of the population subscribes? The MSM has most of the entertainment content and many people believe they are truthful. We now have one news network based primarily on fact, and a propaganda service based on feelings and innuendo, who lie consistently and never make retractions.
You forgot the leftist “educational” system that provides the fools to believe the others.

That’s true. In addition to filling their minds with relentless leftist propaganda, the “educational” system has failed to teach several generations of Americans how to think critically or even communicate what little they DO think.
