Peter Strzok, the FBI agent who promised his paramour that he’d make sure Donald Trump lost the election, has reportedly been escorted from the FBI building. “FBI special agent Peter Strzok was escorted out of the FBI building on Friday, source familiar tells me,” tweeted CNN reporter Laura Jarrett on Tuesday.

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Yes, because remember how much she did for Haiti. Wait, what? – In keeping with her life-long belief that there’s a sucker born every minute, the Pantsuit Princess has decided to use the media-generated fake border crisis as a fundraiser. Yes, even though she isn’t technically running for anything right now, the Grasping Grifter, even at her advanced age, just cannot let a good fake crisis go to waste. So she sent out a fundraising email yesterday to all of her millions of dimwit supporters, urging them to send her money to...

Former FBI director James Comey is under investigation for mishandling classified information, DOJ inspector general Michael Horowitz revealed Monday. He is specifically under investigation for his handling of memos he wrote about interactions with President Trump while FBI director. “Comey said he did not expect a report on his handling of classified information because, ‘That’s frivolous.’ I don’t happen to think that it is frivolous,” Sen. Chuck Grassley said during a Senate hearing Monday. “Question number one, Mr. Horowitz, are you investigating the handling of his memo and does that include the classification issues, and should Mr. Comey expect a...

We the media have “fact-checked” President Trump like we have fact-checked no other human being on the planet—and he’s certainly given us plenty to write about. That’s probably why it’s so easy to find lists enumerating and examining his mistakes, missteps and “lies.” But as self-appointed arbiters of truth, we’ve largely excused our own unprecedented string of fact-challenged reporting. The truth is, formerly well-respected, top news organizations are making repeat, unforced errors in numbers that were unheard of just a couple of years ago. Our repeat mistakes involve declaring that Trump’s claims are “lies” when they are matters of opinion,...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Happy Father’s Day! – Pretending to suddenly be concerned about the children of illegal aliens who have illegally crossed into the United States, social justice warriors took to social media on Saturday in outrage that many Americans would be celebrating Father’s day on Sunday. I celebrated Father’s Day with my family anyway, and even worse, cooked delicious, juicy animal meat in the form of beef and chicken fajitas for my wifey, children and grandchildren to consume. They loved me for it. So there. San Fran Nan is outraged, too. – Doddering old...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) “Hey, somebody get the Pope on the line – those are not the approved DNC/fake media talking points. Not at all.” – Pope Francis, whose messages have for the past 18 months been pretty much right in line with those of the Democrats and fake news media here in the U.S., told an Italian family association on Saturday that the modern practice of abortion is akin to ‘Nazi eugenics practiced “with white gloves,’ and said the only real families are those based on marriage between a man and a woman.” The Pope’s...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) “Ok, let’s see here guys, we’ve already destroyed the attorney/client privilege in the Cohen case, we’re doing our best to destroy the rules of evidence in the Concorde case, what should we destroy next?” – The obvious answer that came back from one of his evil minions to Special Counsel Robert Mueller was “Hey, let’s kill the bail system!” because that’s what he’s now doing in the case against Paul Manafort. Let’s first note that Manafort, who served as the Trump Campaign Manager for all of 49 days, is not charged with...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) There really is no mystery here… – Mark Levin was going off on Fox News last night, railing as only he can do in disbelief about the reality that the “greatest threat to our democracy in 2016 was not any foreign country…it was our own government,” which is absolutely true, and that “I can’t believe we don’t have a special counsel…or a blue ribbon commission investigating our own government.” Well, think about why that’s the case – this is very, very important. If we had an overwhelming clamor from the members of...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) [Note: The wonderful photoshop that accompanies this piece was constructed by a loyal Campaign Update reader who asked to be credited only as dagalas.] Hey, y’all, so far this week, President Donald Trump has gotten the Democrats and the fake news media to endorse: – War games – Nuclear weapons – Refusing to negotiate with despots (where were they when Obama did that Iran deal?) – Neverending war on the Korean peninsula And it’s only Thursday morning! PSA: Those loud noises you are hearing right now are just the sounds of liberal...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The death of the final paltry remnants of customer service is upon us. – A federal judge has ruled against the Jeff Sessions Justice Department, approving the merger of Time Warner and AT&T, in what will be the largest merger of media/entertainment giants in American history. It will also be the merger of two of the three worst customer service organizations – in addition to Comcast – ever conceived by evil human brains. Fair warning: If you are already sick of the horrible, demented, disgraceful lack of service you receive as a...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) I wonder what else President Donald Trump will never do? – “He won’t last a week.” “He won’t stay in this race past the first debate.” “He never survive those comments about John McCain.” “That first debate was the beginning of the end for Donald Trump.” “He’ll never be able to compete with Jeb!” “He’ll be out of the race before the Iowa Caucuses.” “No way he wins the New Hampshire Primary.” “South Carolina will be the beginning of the end for Donald Trump.” “No way he beats Ted Cruz in Indiana.”...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) I thought this must be a satire piece in The Onion, but it turns out someone actually believes this is really the Democrats’ problem. – The New York Times ran an op/ed penned by – naturally – a couple of professors – who contend that the real problem the Democrat Party has is that it’s just too darn…wait for it…oh, you have to wait for this one…MODERATE!!!! Yes, friends, these two people who probably have never spent a moment outside of academia believe that the biggest mistake the Dems made in 2016...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Someone really needs to relieve John McCain of his I-phone. – The guy whose rejection by the American people gave us Barack Hussein Obama got all upset on Saturday over President Trump’s refusal to bow to our Euro-Canadian betters at the G7 summit, and decided to send the following tweet: John McCain ✔ @SenJohnMcCain To our allies: bipartisan majorities of Americans remain pro-free trade, pro-globalization & supportive of alliances based on 70 years of shared values. Americans stand with you, even if our president doesn’t. 7:55 PM - Jun 9, 2018 There...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Godspeed, Charles Krauthammer – I read Dr. Charles Krauthammer’s letter on Friday with feelings fondness and sadness. I’ve been a big fan of his writing – and later of his commentary on the Fox All-Star panel discussions – for at least 30 years now, so the news that he has only a few more weeks to live in this life is something I find to be profoundly sad, although I’ve had a feeling for months now that this news was coming. Dr. Krauthammer won a Pulitzer Prize in 1985 for his commentaries,...

A dozen House lawmakers have introduced legislation to remove President Trump's tariffs on Canadian newsprint so a study can be done on how much those tariffs are crushing local newspapers around the country. The bill, introduced by Rep. Kristi Noem, R-S.D., is a response to the 22 percent tariff that the Trump administration has imposed on some Canadian newsprint since the beginning of this year. Noem said that tariff has led to rising costs for local newspapers, and are a threat to their survival. "In recent years, new tariffs on Canadian newsprint have increased paper prices by 20 to 30...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Here’s what 40 years of Democrats refusing to address the state’s water supply have done for California… – “Californians May Have to Choose Between Showers and Laundry with New 55-Gallon Water Limit.” That’s the headline of a PJ Media story detailing the looming impacts of two new bills just signed into law by California Governor Jerry Brown, the provisions of which would impose draconian new water conservation measures on ordinary Californians, while naturally also providing exemptions for all the state’s wealthy, who are overwhelmingly white Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein and...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? – I’ve never had much use for anyone named Kardashian, but damned if Kim Kardashian West didn’t finally do something positive with her fame. Of course, it took President Donald Trump (I never tire of typing those three words) to bring out the #Winner she always had deep inside. On Wednesday, President Trump, based on a plea from Ms. Kardashian West, announced a full commutation of the life sentence that was despicably given to Alice Marie Johnson for non-violent drug offenses in 1996. In announcing the...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Irrelevant. Americans today need to know what too much #WINNING does to them. – The National Centers for Environmental Information (there’s your all-time politically correct name) issued a report on Monday that says that watching too much bad news can be hazardous to one’s health. So now you know why all of your Democrat friends are feeling so bad these days. Where were these guys when Obama and Kerry were surrendering to Iran’s Mullahs? – Senate Democrats, feeling a sudden need to pretend to care about U.S. national security – something that...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) That time when Bill Clinton accidentally stumbled into the truth. – Lifetime woman abuser (that has nothing to do with this story, but it should be repeated every time his name is mentioned) Bill Clinton told an interviewer over the weekend that – gasp! – the news media gave favorable treatment to Barack Hussein Obama. Go figure. Who knew? “They liked him. And they liked having the first African American president and he was a good president I think,” Clinton said about the media. Uh-ooooohhhhhhh. He went ‘there’, the place no one...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The rules, they are a-changin’. – This was the week we learned that the long-detested and off-limits “C”-word is now just fine to use in public. If you don’t think that’s going to be the net result of leftist celebrities like Sally Field and the execrable Michael Moore praising really bad comic Samantha Bee for her use of the term to describe First Daughter Ivanka Trump, you’re living in a dream world. After all, defining deviancy down is what left-wingers do best, and they’ve been doing it for more than half a...
