Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Yeah, that? It’s not a good idea. But please go ahead and do it anyway. – The genius program managers at ABC, panicked over the loss of their highest-rated spring program thanks to Roseanne Barr’s Twitter meltdown earlier this week, have now come up with the not-so-brilliant idea of doing a spinoff of “Roseanne” focused on the daughter, Darlene, played by the career mediocrity Sarah Gilbert. Yeah, that’s not going to work, but I sure do hope they try. It’s always fun watching these network sleazeballs fail. Mr. Trudeau also requests that...

The Evening Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) “Ok, so here’s the strategy on this latest huge jobs report. We all do a 10-second report on it as soon as it’s issued and then just drop it like we always d…wait, what? The President just did what? He tweeted about it? You have got to be sh…ok, that’s a huge story – gotta go report on it!” – The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, got in one final troll of the fake news media before the weekend Friday morning when he issued a tweet prior to...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Democrats in Action! Part I – The Daily Caller reports this morning that an admitted pedophile who once threatened to assassinate President George W. Bush is now an “independent” congressional candidate thanks to the efforts of despicable former Virginia Governor and long-time Clinton bag man Terry McAuliffe. Per the Caller: “Nathan Larson is an independent candidate in Virginia who admitted to HuffPost that he’s a pedophile who bragged in blog posts about raping his ex-wife and fantasized online about having sex with young children. Larson is also a convicted felon who wouldn’t...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Hey, remember that “Blue Wave” that was going to carry Irish Beto O’Rourke to a smashing victory over Ted Cruz in November?. – Yeah, that’s not really a thing, no matter how much some desperate media mavens in Texas want it to happen. The Blue Wave media lobby’s hopes were raised back in early April when Quinnipiac University issued a poll purporting to show the race between Irish Beto and Cruz within the margin of error, with Cruz holding just a 47-44 lead. But a new Quinnipiac poll issued on Wednesday now...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) This was inevitable. – Roseanne Barr self-destructed on Tuesday, sending out a racist tweet targeting Barack Obama’s loathsome toady Valerie Jarrett, which resulted in her show being cancelled by the end of the day by Disney’s CEO Bob Iger. Some of you have inquired over the last several weeks about why I haven’t said much of anything about the great success of Roseanne’s TV show revival, in which her character is a fan of President Trump. Now you know. Look, I never cared for Roseanne Barr to begin with and pretty much...

Why Trump’s Sunday Tweets Were Important May 28, 2018 by David Blackmon Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Today is Memorial Day and please, before you read this, take a minute to reflect on the men and women who have served and sacrificed to protect this great nation. It’s the very least the rest of us can do. Thanks. Having grown up in the ’70s, this headline seems counter-intuitive, to say the least. – Headline seen this morning at BostonGlobe.com: “Forget protein shakes. The newest workout supplement? Marijuana.” In other news, water is wet. – Lebron James is...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Your fake news media in action! – The last couple of days have produced one of the fakest fake news stories in fake news media history, typified by this blaring headline in USA Today: The Feds Lost – Yes, Lost – 1475 Migrant Children. Of course, the first fake part of this story is the headline – these aren’t “migrant” children, they’re illegal immigrants who crossed our border in violation of our nation’s laws. The story blames the problem entirely on the Trump Administration, yet these children are mostly unaccompanied minors allowed...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The North Korea Summit is cancelled!!!! Woo-hooooooo!!!! Kim wins!!!! Break out the champagne!!!! Oh, wait, it may be back on? Trump sandbagged us again? Isn’t there a plane crash or school shooting we can report on instead? – As we noted in Friday morning’s Campaign Update, Thursday was a day of anti-American celebration in the nation’s fake news media and among Democrat officials everywhere, as they all thought that President Trump’s letter “cancelling” the scheduled June 12 summit meeting with the Crazy Little Fat Guy in North Korea had produced a victory...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) You thought Wendy Davis was a disaster for Democrats in 2014? Lupe Valdez says “hold my beer.” – Texas Democrat gubernatorial nominee Lupe Valdez is making the closing of property tax “loopholes” one of her campaign’s major areas of focus. Yesterday, the Dallas Morning News reported that Ms. Valdez – a former Dallas County Sheriff – owes more than $12,000 in delinquent property taxes. Democrats: If they didn’t exist, nobody in their right mind would want to make them up. But..but…but…who are we gonna get to play the president in our next...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? – Don’t look now, but Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk, after running up the cost of his infamous Model 3 from $36,000 to as much as $100,000, is threatening to actually do something good for a change: Elon Musk ✔ @elonmusk 16h Going to create a site where the public can rate the core truth of any article & track the credibility score over time of each journalist, editor & publication. Thinking of calling it Pravda … Elon Musk ✔ @elonmusk Create a media credibility...

The Evening Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) If you’re shocked at the utterly dishonest manner in which the entirety of the fake mainstream media is covering Spygate (thanks to President Trump for coining that shorthand term today), well, you need to pay closer attention to the Campaign Update and less attention to CNN. Here’s the short message about this 100% “Opposite Day” coverage: Get used to it, because it’s going to continue. At this point in the saga, fake media outlets who have served as nothing but leak receptacles for the Deep State Cabal within the FBI/DOJ for...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? – Investors Business Daily reports that the median U.S. household income has now hit an all-time high of more than $61,000, and that President Donald Trump (I still never tire of typing those three words) is getting credit for it from the public. Cool. It’s where all the Clinton-era bodies are buried. – A big sinkhole has opened up on the White House grounds. Life comes at you fast, Democrats. – In a Campaign Update barely 10 days ago I told you we would start seeing...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? – The deep state Obama flunkies were in full-on panic on Monday, as the details of their conspiracy to fix the 2016 election and then bring down a duly-elected POTUS continue to come to light. Obama CIA Director John Brennan, ex-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and ex-Attorney General Eric Holder all took to their Twitter accounts or favored media support outlets to threaten various Republicans and say stuff that just isn’t true. Fresh off of probably perjuring himself again before another congressional committee on Friday, Brennan...

SOFIA (Reuters) — French President Emmanuel Macron ruled out on Thursday any trade war with the United States over its withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal as a wave of European companies quit business with Tehran, fearing the global reach of U.S. sanctions. European Union leaders united behind the 2015 accord, and Brussels announced it would launch a legal process banning EU-based firms from complying with the sanctions that U.S. President Donald Trump has reimposed on Iran. However, corporations face the choice of trading with the biggest economy in the world, the United States, or with Iran, risking sanctions and...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The liberal education bubble in action! – The Pantsuit Princess was given an award by Harvard University on Sunday for her “transformative impact on society.” Wait, wait, wait – before you guffaw, or vomit at the absurdity of this, think it fully through. The Coughing Crook has indeed had “transformative impacts” on our society. Here are a few examples: She “transformed” the U.S. State Department into a classic mob influence racket; She “transformed” 20 percent of U.S. uranium supplies into Russian hands; She and her husband “transformed” a charitable foundation into another...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? – Gosh, I’m old enough to remember like, a couple of weeks ago, when everyone at CNN was sagely ensuring us that President Donald Trump’s crazy policies would lead to a massive trade war with China. Then yesterday, this happened: CNN Breaking News ✔ @cnnbrk China will "significantly increase" purchases of US goods and services, according to a joint statement from both countries https://cnn.it/2kavMLq 1:56 PM - May 19, 2018 1,198 Oooops. The Cabal and American Pravda move into justification phase. – The Sunday morning talk...

Glenn goes over some of the game changing campaign promises President Trump made and kept.

TodayÂ’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) ThereÂ’s this big wedding going on over in England as I write this, and for the life of me I canÂ’t figure out why any American gives a damn. IÂ’m just irritated because I wonÂ’t be getting my morning dose of news. In the real world, there was another tragic school shooting on Friday, this time in Santa Fe, Texas, and all I can wonder is how long it will take before we find out that the Barney Fifes at the FBI had the killer under surveillance but did nothing to stop...

Trump is draining the swamp —Rebuilding government may be impossible In the 2013 novel “A Delicate Truth,” John le Carré presents the “deep state” as a moneyed, cultured élite — the “non-governmental insiders from banking, industry, and commerce” whose access to information allows them to rule in secret. Trump’s conception is quite different. A real-estate baron, Trump is at war with the clerks — the apparatchiks who, he claims, are seeking to nullify the election by denying the prerogatives of his Administration. This attack on “bureaucracy” is really an attack on the State Department, the intelligence community and ordinary bureaucrats...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Feel good quote of the week. – “John Brennan…needs a very good lawyer…he’s going to be in front of a grand jury.” – Former U.S. Attorney Joe DiGenova, speaking last night on the Tucker Carlson Show. Why does Donald Trump hate women so?????? – Gina Haspel, Donald Trump’s nominee, yesterday became the first woman ever confirmed to become the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. This woman’s nomination was opposed by 2 Republicans and 43 Democrats in the U.S. Senate. As far as I can tell, the biggest black mark against Ms....
