I have elderly parents who are hooked to FOX with a mental IV plus one of them gets those horrid inflammatory emails that are almost always ridiculously warping the truth or wrong. I think I say "fake news" more these days than almost anything else I say to them. At first, they didn't believe me (me vs. FOX?), but now it's a resigned acceptance that 'the media' is wrong & often deliberately wrong, again. FOX is somewhat less fake than the other networks, but they're definitely no longer 'fair & balanced'. James Rosen is leaving - he was pretty respectable & Catherine Herridge is my absolute favorite there - she, Sharyl Attkisson, Sarah Carter & John Soloman are about the only decent journalists/reporters left doing authentic work.
All of that being said, a very MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone - wow, it feels so GOOD to say that when out & about & have all sorts of happy people saying it back or beating you to the punch & saying it first!! Best wishes for a wonderful 2018 with lots of MAGA happening. God bless President Trump & his family - we finally have a God-fearing man in office who is putting the American people first, a wonderful, classy First Lady who is a source of pride & represents America so well, & Barron, the First Lad .... it's nice to have young man in the White House.
PS - for a clever read, here's a take off on the Grinch that stole Christmas starring .... Comey!
Ben Cardboard is my name for Ben Cardin, the moronic idiot from Maryland.
oooohhh, I'd like to see those....wait til the press gets a hold of this one. LOL
I caught a few minutes of Face the Nation before I got another Christmas phone call. Glad to hear the White House guy deflecting those false charges of the NYT claiming that Trump made racist comments in a meeting from last summer. I didn’t believe those comments when they were reported and Chrissy-poo Wallace shouldn’t have even dignified it by bringing it up. The NYT has two sources, one person at the meeting and someone he/she supposedly told, and everyone else at the meeting categorically denied those comments were made. Is this the new style of Roy Moore attacks we have to face now?
Thanks for everything you do here on Fr.
your wisdom, tremendous posts,research and everything else you do is just Second To None thanks again.
I just came across this while looking for something from last Christmas ..... I did not write it, supposedly ‘Author Unknown’ and it’s a bit dated (Flynn was still around), but it’s pretty ‘right on’ ... brings back good memories from Christmas 2016 & January 2017.
Twas the Night Before Inauguration (author unknown)
Twas the night before inauguration and up in the tower,
The Donald reflected on his newfound power.
The “deplorable” masses had come out in force,
And delivered a victory that would chart a new course.
The snowflakes were shell-shocked with tears in their eyes,
The media lied to them – what a surprise!
They had been promised a Hillary win,
But the criminal Clinton took one on the chin.
And though from all corners celebrities flew,
They made no impression, for they hadn’t a clue.
They talked about climate, racism and such,
And they made up good stories …. but didn’t know much.
The fake news and ignorance came at a cost,
And they can’t understand all the reasons they lost.
They blame it on Comey and Bernie & Vlad,
But fail to acknowledge the one that was bad.
Yes, Hillary Clinton, in many ways flawed,
Was her own biggest hurdle toward getting the nod.
The campaign exposed her corruptness and greed,
And her speeches were punch-less as ten dollar weed.
So out in the streets there arose such a clatter,
It was Soros-paid protesters and Black Lives Matter.
With cities to pillage and windows to smash,
They knew not the issues, but needed the cash.
Eight years of Obama had given them cause,
To expect a replacement of their Santa Claus.
But soon the protesters will feel the pain,
When the wheels fall off of the old gravy train.
And now all the snowflakes are riddled with fear,
Upset and offended by things that they’ll hear.
The cocoa and crayons will help for a while,
But fact-based opinion will soon cramp their style.
I originally supported anyone but Cruz,
In the end I would vote for whoever they choose.
He may not have been my first choice, but soon I would cede,
The one they call TRUMP is the one that we NEED!
I saw him on TV in front of a crowd,
He spoke about veterans, it made me feel proud.
He spoke about energy, safety and jobs,
Taking this country back from the Washington snobs.
He was dressed in Armani, all tailored and neat,
And the Brunos he wore made the outfit complete.
For a man of his vintage, he seemed rather fit,
And he looked presidential, I have to admit.
His eyes glowed like embers, his smile was the best,
And his hair was the color of my old hunting vest.
His love for this country was on full display,
And his actions spoke louder than his words could say.
He thanked all his voters, and before he was gone,
Saved thousands of jobs while Obama looked on.
The fate of this country left nothing to chance,
So he filled out his cabinet weeks in advance.
The men he had chosen were of the same mind,
Let’s set the bar high, and not lead from behind.
He picked up his phone as he arose from his seat,
With a flick of his finger, he sent out this tweet:
“Now Mattis! Now Kelly! Now Sessions and Pruitt!
On Perry! On Flynn, You’re the ones who can do it!
Start lifting restrictions and building the wall,
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”
The roar of his audience rose from the stands,
He kissed all their babies and shook all their hands,
He answered their questions and calmed all their fears,
They knew it would be a fantastic four years.
Then he jumped in his limo and off to his jet,
A fellow that Liberals won’t soon forget.
He sent one more tweet as the evening expired:
“Happy Inauguration Day to all,
AND OBAMA - YOU’RE FIRED!”
Wood Bobward on FOX, wants Walice to interview Mueller on sodium pentathol.
Actually, they need to have the occasional "inexplicable" explosion....just to keep them on their toes.
If chuck is really difficult to watch.
he’s just so biased on the whole show it’s just incredibly biased against the Republicans, against Trump, against anything we want to do.
but at least it lets you know how they’re going after us
LOL! I might tune in for that.
I switch to fnc and the Sunday morning Futures it’s a far better show just can’t take F. Chuck anymore
Some real action on “Full Measure” with Sharyll Atkisson. She even said the first story will make you mad.
It’s an interview with Congressman Buck about Congressional dues for committee seats, dining room privileges, spilling the beans on special interest control of the institution.
Leadership from both parties did not respond to her inquiries.
Marc Short is sharp. I suspect he and speechwriter Miller (John?, James?) are key peeps in this administration. DjT’s best speeches reek of Miller.
Congressman Buck called it was it is a District of Corruption ruled by self proclaimed aristocrats.
The perfect description for their little clubs would be would be like the sopranos club.
He was excellent no question.
Meanwhile Peter King on fnc is slamming the excuses that the Dems use for the dossier. He said using the dossier was just ridiculous.
Using ,it to go after Trump with and a fisa warrant to was just incredibly uncalled for totally indefensible basis for an investigation P King’s own words.
A must read even if it comes from Politico. A well-researched piece that demonstrates what real investigative journalism should be: The secret backstory of how Obama let Hezbollah off the hook
A very useful chronology of events that can be copied and pasted into an excel spreadsheet: A TIMELINE OF TREASON: How the DNC and FBI Leadership Tried to Fix a Presidential Election [Updated]
Gordon Chang on fnc large Chinese Banks laundering money for North Korea cannot be tolerated anymore.
we don’t do it for the drug lords we can’t do it for North Korea either.
Is anyone commenting on Mr Trumps Stellar 1st year?
