LOL. “There’s no turmoil now, mind you, but it just MIGHT be ‘right around the corner.’”

CNN is a parody of a Leftist network. They should be subject to scorn and ridicule for every pro-Clinton story they pump out of their predictable Democrat propaganda mill.

Grasping at anything is what John King’s article can be best described as. They were all in for Clinton from the beginning and that’s not gonna change, but reading his article you can sense his and the other lefties panic. Getting rid of Manafort and having some of his crew leave too are giving the MSM hope that Trump’s campaign is in turmoil, but the opposite is happening. Bannon and Conway are strengthening the Trump message, and since both are used to tangling with lefty media types, will be able to handle them while Trump can go on with the business of campaigning for president. Sorry John, but you should be writing an article that has the title, “Why more Hillary turmoil may be right around the corner. Her campaign is in trouble and Trump is starting to solidify his.

CNN is a bit behind the curve. We already discussed and dissected the Manafort resignation on Friday. It's old news now and the determination was that this is a GOOD thing for all involved (including Manafort).

Meanwhile, the troubled Crooked Hillary campaign sputters on with an anemic rally in Nantucket held under somebody's picnic tent.

Turmoil?

No, REAL turmoil is suddenly increasing questions about the financial shenanigans at the Clinton Foundation. The MSM for the most part dismissed Clinton Cash, but when they suddenly found out a possible major link between the Clinton Foundation and 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), the issues with the Clinton Foundation now come to the forefront because multiple countries are investigating the international scope of the US$755 million embezzled from 1MDB.

Like Trump, The Founding Fathers Weren’t PERFECT EITHER!

A few months ago, I wrote and posted a defense of Donald Trump entitled “Why Would We Elect as President a Guy Who...? In it, I attempted to point out that MANY of those we have elected to the White House (as well as the myriad men and women who occupy high positions) have been – like ALL of us – frail, flawed and fallen fellow human beings and, yes, sinners.

My defense of Trump – but, more critically, the vital need to keep the most corrupt candidate to run for the office in my lifetime OUT of the White House – has led me to do further research into the personalities and character some of the men who played pivotal roles in the formation of this country. I wanted to try and learn if some of THEM would have sparked #nevertrump like groups to spring up in opposition. I cite below some of the fairly well documented historical information I have uncovered.

(For the sake of brevity, I have omitted footnotes. If anyone wishes them, please request via email and I’ll send them.)

“The Father of Our Country, George Washington began producing rye whiskey at Mount Vernon in 1797, reaching a peak production of over 11,000 gallons per year by 1799. He was the largest producer of whiskey in the Colonies. Imagine this fine Christian gentleman becoming a producer of – HORRORS – WHISKEY!! You can still buy his original recipe from the folks now running Mt. Vernon. Search on-line for “George Washington Rye”.
Mt. Vernon is regularly picked by #neverwashington and Christian Temperance groups.

“Whatever qualities define a Founding Father in the minds of many Americans, Thomas Paine probably lacked most of them. He was, according to one acquaintance, ‘course and uncouth in his manners, loathsome in his appearance, and a disgusting egoist.’ And yet this new immigrant from England became the voice of the early Revolution.’ His outspokenness at times got him in trouble, and he often found himself enmeshed in colonial scandals.”

“If Ben Franklin was the elder sage of the Revolution, Washington its heroic warrior and Jefferson its rarefied intellect, John Adam was its messy, tenacious, disputatious, verbose conscience. The powerful French minister the Count de Vergennes once told Congress that Adams ‘...has a rigidity and arrogance and obstinacy that will cause him to foment a thousand unfortunate incidents.’ Adams himself once said ‘Popularity was never my Mistress, nor was I ever, or shall I ever be a popular Man.’”
When the 5 man committee to draft the Declaration of Independence was formed, they assigned Jefferson who “...had a reputation of a masterly pen” the task of writing the document. Years later Adams admitted that he removed himself from consideration as he was “obnoxious, suspected and unpopular.” As we all know, despite being “obnoxious, suspected and unpopular” Adams went on to become President.

His enemies often referred to Alexander Hamilton as the “bastard boy” . From the West Indies, his mother, estranged from her legal husband, bore him in a relationship with another man. Hamilton went on to provide invaluable service to the new nation, creating and standing up numbers of institutions that exist to this day.

At 70 years of age when he participated in the drafting of the Declaration, Benjamin Franklin was the elder statesman of the move for independence. A successful businessman and widowed in 1774, he was also later renowned as a lady’s man – and the younger the better. During his frequent visits to Europe, first to England before the Revolution to plead the cause of American independence then to France to enlist French aid in the war with George, III, the stories of Dr. Franklin’s love of the freely given attentions of the ladies were legendary. As what we now call a “senior citizen” it’s doubtful that Dr. Franklin was “up” to return their affections in a more than grandfatherly manner. That said, some things are best left unknown.

While I COULD go on longer, here I shall end this truncated tale of the strong, intelligent, principled, yet FLAWED men who loved America – the IDEA – enough to risk death at the hands of a tyrannical king.

If you cannot draw a parallel between them and the strong, intelligent, principled, yet FLAWED man who also loves America – the IDEA – enough to leave his successful and affluent PRIVATE life in what could well be the last opportunity to snatch America back from the tyrants of today, I fear that I have just wasted the 2 hours it took me to compose it and the 10 minutes or so it took you to read it.

And for that I humbly apologize.

It is sad, CNN was (at one time, so long ago now) the premier cable news network.

Anywhere.

Now they are losing more audience, more coverage, more awards, every single day of every week.

They have been on a slow downward trajectory forever now, with no end in sight.

Because they are frankly a partisan sham of a network. Fox passed them in viewers now years ago, and continues to pull ever further ahead. Now MSNBC (also viciously leftist) is pulling near to CNN.

They have just lost the desire to be great. They are a monolithic partisan bureaucracy, dedicated to leftist thougth.

Now granted Fox is not a huge amount better this year, they were anyone but for Trump.

But CNN is just a biased blob of partisan tripe anymore.

I hope Trump brings out some competitor to these big leftist (and big centrist) networks.

Someone who is for America.

Not for globalist this, not for selling out our country that.

For American exceptionalism.

Stand up someone. Fill the gap.

This will be easy to counter. Trump simply has to ask, “How’s those jobs working for you? How’s that Obamacare working for you? How’s the wall paper in your mom’s basement””

Then again Hillary just has to say “FREE STUFF.”

1) Turmoil in Trump land could carry into the week ahead

It’s already on the CNN schedule and there’s Mary Katharine Ham giving best Rino perspective. I hate this woman with a passion; she’s even worse than Amanda Carpenter.

CNN: Where broadcasting lies is SOP


Examples:

cnn swim

CNN stated unequivocally an Olympic swimmer was suspended.  It was entirely made up. The U.S. Olympic Committee told Reuters it was entirely a manufactured story with no basis in truth.

Example #2

CNN lies 1

CNN manufactured a story about Donald Trump being questioned by the Secret Service for comments made during a speech.  The Secret Service told Reuters the entire story was completely false, it never happened.  CNN made the entire story up.   They didn’t get the story wrong – They made it up.

Example #3

CNN Cyron

CNN manufactures a completely false story about Milwaukee violence and attributes the exact opposite claims to the Victim’s Sister.  CNN made it up.  They didn’t get it wrong – They intentionally manufactured the spin.

Example #4

CNN heritage screen shot 1

CNN manufactures a totally false claim of Donald Trump using a litmus test of “heritage” for possible Supreme Court Justices.  The claim has no merit and is totally false.  Donald Trump used a well known think tank called “The Heritage Foundation” for judicial vetting.

These examples of ridiculous media bias are all within the past week.  Do you really think this same media outlet would not manipulate the same intent with their “polling”?
